4.2.1 Breaks Packaging

Development Platform & Builds

Hello; Just reporting that I can’t package anything from 4.2.1 due to unexplained error with UnrealBuildTool when packing.

RunUAT.bat ERROR: AutomationTool was unable to run successfully.

I had to roll back to 4.2.0 to be able to package and launch standalones again.
The console doesn’t give me any specific error message, just that UnrealBuildTool failed to be found.
I don’t know if ppl are able to build within 4.2.1, so I’m reporting to see if this is happening to me only.
4.2.0 is working though, so no big issue for me.

I would like to chime in and say that I am having the same issue, I haven’t tried 4.2.0 yet so i’ll roll back and see if it fixes it for me as well.

I think this is related to installing 4.2.1 using 4.2 optional download files.
Staff said redownload of files from 4.2 to 4.2.1 would not be necessary, but it is.

Howdy BrUnO,

Where you able to solve your issue by re-downloading the files?

I re-downloaded 4.2; Didn’t want to try 4.2.1 again.

Howdy BrUnO XaVIeR,

I am going to close this issue for now because it is not occurring in the 4.2 build. If you decide to update when the 4.3 build is released and this issue is still occurring, please feel free to open this issue so that we may further investigate what you are seeing.

Thanks and have a great day!
