4.12.5 failing to compile

Development Programming & Scripting

When I attempt to compile it fails with the below error.

Info Creating makefile for hot reloading TempestEE (changes to module files)
Info Compiling game modules for hot reload
Info Target is up to date
Info ERROR: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path ‘D:\My Projects\Extinction Event\TempestEE\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.modules’ is denied.

Can someone assist in telling me (linking me) to how this can be resolved. I believe it may be a factor in preventing our migration to 4.14.3.

Thank you

It says “Access to the path ‘D:\My Projects\Extinction Event\TempestEE\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor.modules’ is denied.”

Have You checked the permission to the folder/file?

Are You running UE Editor as Admin?

Hello and thank you for your suggestions

I have checked the permission for the file and all looked good; I’ll check permission on the folder shortly and let you know.

I’m not running UE Editor as Admin. I’ve upgraded engines several times and don’t remember running in admin mode before. I can try this as well.

Thank you
