UnrealBuildTool failed due to IOException error

When packaging my project, IOException error was occurred.

I am using UE 4.12.5. I tried to remove temporary folders, but failed.
My custom UE 4.12.5 and original UE 4.12.5 are same.

I am using MS Windows 10, MS Visual Studio 2015.

Please help me.

These error logs are.

Hi Lakshimi,

I found a couple of similar issues that were resolved by clearing the AppData-Temp folder located:

C:\Users< username >\AppData\local\Temp folder

Please try this and let us know if it does not resolve the issue.

Thanks,

Thanks, but removing temporary files was no effect to me.

Please perform these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Create a new blank C++ Project; Third Person Template
  2. Make sure this (and original project) are named with less than 20 Characters and use no special characters
  3. Package to a folder on the desktop (set this in Project Settings>Packaging)
  4. Start with a blank output log and cut and paste entire results into a text document and link results here.
  5. If blank project is successful, try again with your project, following the naming conventions in step #2
  6. If it fails, supply the entire contents of Output Log as in step #4

Hi Lakshimi,

Since we have not heard back from you in a while we are marking this post “resolved” for tracking purposes. However, if you are still receiving this packaging error, please respond with the requested information above and we will continue to investigate.

Thanks,

.

I solved this problem recently…
If proguard-project.backup is already exist, this error occurs.

Thanks, I want to know what occurs this problem.

I solved this problem, few days ago. I modified my own engine source, if proguard-project.backup file is already exist, remove it and move file.

Thanks for posting your solution.
