2024 Unable to run Setup.bat file even after replacing Commit.gitdeps.xml

August 12, 2024

I have been trying to do a source build for Unreal Engine 4.27. I have looked at the forum pages for the Setup.bat issue and tried replacing the Commit.gitdeps.xml file in my local repo but the following error still seems to persist:

Text version of error:
$ ./Setup.bat

If someone could please lay out a step-by-step procedure for the many other developers that are faced with this same issue it would save us a lot of time. Thank you!
