I am using UE4.12.

I can’t package my project, when I try to it I get this error:

I opened it with administrator rights.

I am using Visual Studio Community update 3.

Hello MrGoatsy,

What drive is your Visual Studio installed on? Is it the same drive that your Windows is installed on? From looking at the log it looks like it’s installed on a drive called IE:\ which could be part of these problems. If it is on the same drive, can you try disabling any firewall or virus protection programs and compiling once more? There are a few programs that cause some issues with compiling due to false positives. For reference, here’s a list of all of the known software conflicts.

It isn’t on the same drive, it is on an external HDD.

I think it might be due to update 3, it doesn’t seem to be compatible with UE4.12 according to other questions on the answerhub.

anonymous_user_41845f4a · July 28, 2016, 6:42pm

That would be correct. If you’re on 4.12.0 you’ll need to upgrade to 4.12.5, as Update 3 released officially during, I believe, 4.12.3’s lifespan. We made updates to support it with 4.12.5.

I’ve also never had Visual Studio installed on a drive separate from my Windows installation but that could be an issue as well since Visual Studio relies on some files from System32.

MrGoatsy · July 29, 2016, 7:09pm

I will update UE4 tonight and I will let you know if it worked.

MrGoatsy · July 30, 2016, 4:44pm

I get this error after trying to package the project in UE4.12.5: http:///UJTJ2QeE

MrGoatsy · July 31, 2016, 6:27pm

That fixed it, could you post it as an answer so I can accept it?

anonymous_user_41845f4a · August 1, 2016, 2:28pm

All done. Thank you for giving it a try. Have a good day!
