Hi, can someone help me on this? I was having errors and warning, but found all culprit and now i’m have 0 errors and 0 warnings, but my package fail to build.

On the package project settings i changed:

AppLocal Prerequisites directory

from:
$(EngineDir)/Binaries/Win64

to:
$(ProjectDir)/Binaries/Win64

Didn’t worked on both

I have deleted the files on project/binaries/win64 and only left the dlls, no luck also.

I was able to create a blank fps template for example and build the package, the problem is in my project i think…

I also tried to delete the saved and intermediate folders on my project, but didn’t worked also.
I’m running out of ideas and still having the problem for packing the development win64.

Ok, i have fixed the problem and i think this is a bug of 4.14.3

What is happened?
UE4 Pre requisite settings is forcing a directory string on top on your original directory, when this happens the engine try to look for app local pre req files on a folder that not exist, causing the build failure.

How to fix if this happens to you?
Just go to your project folder and open the DefaultGame.ini under “Config” and find this string:
ApplocalPrerequisitesDirectory=

change to (Path=“FOLDER_OF_YOUR_PROJECT_BINARIES”)
Mine is ApplocalPrerequisitesDirectory=(Path=“E:/Projetos pessoais/TODO/Projeto Archviz/Unreal Brasil/FRAZAOARCH_UE/FrazaoARCH/Binaries/”)

Do no add the /Win64 on ApplocalPrerequisitesDirectory path, otherside it will result on build failure, because engine will try to look for a win64 folder inside a win64, wich one is not exist.

This is it.
