Alan wake 2 wont install.

I'm having trouble getting Alan Wake 2 installed, I keep getting the same error it looks like, though with a different numeric code. It suggests logging out of, and into my Epic again, and i have done so repeatedly, as well as rebooted my PC.

the location can't be the D drive directly it needs to be some directory like D:\Heroic

Crazy, never been a problem for any other of my Epic games. i'll try that. Resolved the issue though it appears, thank you! Is that a more recent change? Do i need to relocate my other Epic games to said folder to make sure they keep working?

I think the already installed games should just work it could be related to recent transition to powershell for spawning subprocesses cc @CommandMC

Cool, i'll keep it in mind, if they give me issues might try reinstalling them into the new folder. Thank you again!

Ah yup, backslashes need to be escaped
"`"--base-path`"","`"D:\`"",
"`"--base-path`"","`"D:\`"",
Because of the \ there, PS thinks that the ` after should be included in the string, in reality it's supposed to escape the " after it (PS string quoting rules are perfectly normal, not convoluted at all)
