Your trying to build the editor in HTML5, this does not work, you will need to change the build configuration to one that does not contain editor.

Thanks for your reply, I think i am totally new about this, i have to work on HTML5 project, so for its i need UE Editor, so should i work with simple Installed UE4 editor then directly compile the HTML5 project?

I am totally confused here? Please help.

Compile the engine using the configuration “Development Editor” or “Debug Editor” for “Win64” so that you can actually use the editor to build your project on your PC. You then use the Unreal Frontend to actually package your project for HTML5. Take a look here Why when I build Html5 can Firefox not find the file "MyProject.html"? - Platform & Builds - Epic Developer Community Forums for a lot of information regarding building for HTML5.

Hi, Thanks for your help, but as you said and to your link, i just followed the steps, Using Development Editor, and Win64 Platform, i am getting these errors?

Make sure you have set UE4 as your build target. You can just right click on it and run a build to make sure. And also make sure to turn off any anti virus software as you are doing it, I have ran into problems with Avast not letting my builds run correctly. Another thing to check is that after you have run the emscripten setup that you run the generateprojectfiles.bat so that it has all the files to build with correctly.
