Error while installing Paradox Launcher v2 [Epic]

[GRAW19]

While trying to install it I get an error saying

Could not set file security for file 'C:\...\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Installer\'. Error 1307. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to modify the security permissions for this file.

You can bypass the launcher by following these instructions:

Download the attached cities.bat.zip file
Extract from it cities.bat
Place the .bat file in your game's Steam folder (In the same place as your cities.exe)
Right click the game in your Steam library
Go to properties
Select Launch Options
Copy and Paste cities.bat %command% into the input box
X out of that screen
Run the game


Sorry for that problem!

Is something like that possible on Epic Launcher?
Or will I have to just open it from the .exe file every time?

It used to be, but Epic's client now does not respect the launch options and still tries to run the launcher. We haven't found a way around that yet.

Please try this:

- uninstall Paradox Launcher v2 from the Windows "Apps and features" utility, if still present.

Delete the following folders if still present:

- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Programs/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/
- C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Roaming/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
To see the AppData folder you'll need to enable View Hidden Items in File Explorer.

- exit the Epic app entirely
- run EpicGamesLauncher.exe as the Windows Admin user
- run the game from the Epic client

IF that doesn't help, in this folder are some .log files:
C:/users/{userName}/AppData/Local/Paradox Interactive/launcher-v2/
Please attach them here.
