When I try to package my Project for Windows 64bit I got the Errors you can see in the end of this post.
I did not modify anything in Visual Studio I just opened and rebuild the solution. I hope I get fast help because this is my Semester Project and I have to finish it until next weeks Wednesday :3

The log file is from the first Error to till the End.

Hello 0Poschi0,

Can you try deleting your Intermediate and Saved folders? After doing this, right-click on the .uproject file and select “Generate Visual Studio Project Files” and then compile using Visual Studio. If this doesn’t work, in the project’s directory, under the Source folder, can you provide the code in your Test.Build.cs and Test.Target.cs files?

We haven’t heard from you in a while, 0Poschi0. Are you still experiencing this issue? If so, was my last comment of any help? What were the results? In the meantime, I’ll be marking this issue as resolved for tracking purposes.

I’m sorry that i am answering that late. I tried what you recommended but it didn’t help, so i just created a new project and merged everything. After that everything worked fine again. Maybe it was because i opened visual studio in a non code project and rebuild everything in visual studio? I’m not sure but thanks for your help!
