Epic Games Launcher: Error Writing Installation Information?

I recently tried installing Fortnite. Well and then the following message kept coming:

I've also tried to uninstall things to save space. I then freed 32GB more memory, but the message is still coming. When I press repeat nothing happens. When I press Cancel the following message appears:

Epic Games Launcher: Error Writing Installation Information

Nothing happens when you press Finish.

Does anyone have any idea what to do so that I can playably install Fortnite?

Clear? 'The promotion is only allowed for products that are currently installed.'

Try to reinstall the epicgames launcher

Es

I can't uninstall it, then it always comes: The action is only permitted for products that are currently installed. || When reinstalling, the same message always comes.

When reinstalling the epicgames launcher or fortnite?

Es

Launcher

Then you probably have too little memory.

How much do you have?

Ja

Hmm i have no idea what that could be 🤷

How much free space do you have?

Es

40 GB

40 GB

That is not enough. See that you have around 100GB free.

Te

Fortnite I think needs almost 90 GB. Your 40 gb are not enough.

Es

Ufff the hard drive has only 100GB. Is it somehow possible that I start from scratch on another hard drive?

Yes. Can you specify during installation.

Es

Well, that's the problem. If I press 'Download' on the website, something is downloading. If I press it, this message comes directly from the original question. I honestly don't know how I can get it on the other hard drive. I don't even get into the menu where I can select the storage location.

Te

You can have the Launcher and Fortnite on two different hard drives without any problems. I have it that way too

Es

But how do I do that? If I just move the installer to a folder on another hard drive, the message still comes, even though I have 500 GB free there. When I open the installer on C, the error message comes directly, without being able to choose where I want to install what.

Te

I don't know what to do next.

Es

Thanks anyways!
