| SU-PQR1618 | These errors occur because the Microsoft Installer is in the middle of another installation, or has recently performed one and needs to reboot the computer in order to complete it.

This should allow your installation to complete normally. |
| SU-BV01 | This issue can be caused by a few different things. The most common is that you are attempting to install one of our products on a FAT32 formatted drive. At this time, our products are not compatible with FAT32, so you will need to reformat the drive to NTFS in order to successfully install them. Hardware failure can also cause this issue. We recommend checking both your hard drive and your RAM for errors to rule out hardware as the cause of this problem. If any errors are detected in either of these tests, faulty hardware is likely the cause of your problem. |

The other possibility is a problem with the existing Visual Studio redistributables on your machine. |
| IS-MF01 | The IS-MF01 error code means that the Epic Launcher has failed to patch an installation because of another process that’s running is holding a lock on the files. In most cases, this is because the game you're trying to patch is currently running. To correct this issue, try each of the following solutions. |

You can correct this by either downloading and setting up a desktop email client such as Thunderbird, or by configuring your webmail service of choice to be the default mail client for mailto links. The steps required to do this will vary based on your mail client and browser. If you're unsure of how to do this, we recommend contacting your mail client's support team. |

Trouble: 0xc000007b
Cause: Often, this error code is caused by a 64-bit process trying to use a 32-bit dll or vice versa. In this case, the 64-bit launcher is probably trying to load a .dll that it wasn’t meant to run with. The problem is that this isn’t the only situation that could cause this error code. It could be a subtle problem with any of the binaries used/referenced. All the ways users can get into this state are not presently clear, but usually it has to do with dependencies that are corrupt, modified, incorrectly installed, or that have been tampered with.
