Have you started the UE4 with admin rights? → in my case this solved the problem

Worked! Thanks

I ran as administrator and it won’t package the Shooter.

Hmm, strange. Also disable your anti virus and then try it again.

I also was wrong. When i wrote that it worked, i looked into the wrong Folder… It still doesnt work for me sadly!

Can anyone help me with that, please?

Make sure you have 2013 visual studio express C++ or 2013 visual studio pro C++ installed, then try to build again

Nwatchel is correct, Shootergame is a code project and as such needs VS2013 to package the game. Make sure you have it installed before you package the game.

I was getting the same error and just installed VS express and all is good. Is VS express free?

Yes Visual studio express C++ 2013 is free
