failed to load descriptor file ue 4.8.3

Whenever I try packaging any project(be it templates), the packaging completes successfully though when executing the exe file I get:

52203-capture.jpg

I am running ue4 from the launcher

my steps in packaging:

  1. open example project
  2. cook content(successful)
  3. package project in shipping mode win64, my computer is also win64
  4. standard setting are left the same

I have tried packaging the project in development 64bit, and it works successfully. This is only an issue for shipping

If someone could tell me how to make my packaged project install prerequisites(like how it does in shipping) I will mark that as an answer
