    Hey, RanDaniel, 

    I had the same Problem. This msi Package try to install DirectX again. Windows 10 create an issue. 

    I had to disable the call to install DirectX in the msi File. 

    Here´s the Link for downloading my changed msi file

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/l4re3oubh2niwg0/EpicInstaller-7.7.0.msi?dl=0

    If you want to change it by yourself, download the "Advanced Installer"

    https://www.advancedinstaller.com/download.html

    and delete the Custom Action "InstallDirectX" unter "Custom Behavior - Custom Actions".

    That`s all!

    Have fun :)

    Try and run the update below for backwards compatibility for games that run in an older version of DirectX.

    Because I think that Fortnite uses DirectX 11.

    Yeah i know.

    It is all the directx runtimes since 2010.

    Normally when you install this then older games don't have a problem working.

    Did this on my sons machine and he plays Fortnite in Windows 10.

    So I am hoping it will work for you too.

    If it doesn't then you will need to update your display driver card.

    What is the make and model of your PC?
