      I got the same error as you. Its just an input error.

      To fix it make sure to add a space between what the original target text says [ mine said “C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win32\EpicGamesLauncher.exe”] and -SkipBuildPatchPrereq.

      So for me this works- “C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Portal\Binaries\Win32\EpicGamesLauncher.exe” -SkipBuildPatchPrereq

      Just copy -SkipBuildPatchPrereq into your target box text at the end. Remember the single space between ” and – like in my example.
