When I start the Wwise Launcher an error occurs.

An error occurred. We are sorry about the inconveniences.
If you were in the middle of an installation, please restart the Wwise Launcher and try again.

 After clicking OK I am able to download versions of Wwise and browse Unity projects however if I try to click on Unreal Engine the same error window pops up. Preventing me from being able to easily integrate Unreal and Wwise. Any advise would be appreciated.

Hey, same error too. This happened for the first time when there was an upgrade of the wwise launcher to download.*

I try to reinstall the wwise launcher or any versions of wwise I'm working on, same issue everytime.

I found the error,

The launcher looks for the folder "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs" that was not present on my system.
Simply adding manually that folder everything works.
