GitDependencies.exe fails to update dependencies

Hi everyone,

when executing Setup.bat I get the following error message thrown by GitDependencies.exe:

Checking dependencies...
Updating dependencies:   0% (0/97590)...
Unhandled exception. System.PlatformNotSupportedException: Thread abort is not supported on this platform.
   at System.Threading.Thread.Abort()
   at GitDependencies.Program.DownloadDependencies(String RootPath, IEnumerable`1 RequiredFiles, IEnumerable`1 Blobs, IEnumerable`1 Packs, Int32 NumThreads, Int32 MaxRetries, Uri Proxy, String CachePath)
   at GitDependencies.Program.UpdateWorkingTree(Boolean bDryRun, String RootPath, HashSet`1 ExcludeFolders, Int32 NumThreads, Int32 MaxRetries, Uri Proxy, OverwriteMode Overwrite, String CachePath, Single CacheSizeMultiplier, Int32 CacheDays)
   at GitDependencies.Program.Main(String[] Args)

I do not have this problem with the Setup.bat in my UnrealEngine4 installation. Can anyone give a hint what might be wrong?

Thanks in advance
Robert

Check the storage space of the drive the project is in. It is probably full which you’re getting this error.

If you are experiencing in the current eu5-main branch, then it is probably a timeout issue. For workaround and discussion also check:
