Where i work at present the machines have a locked down configuration, with the build process the UAT is starting the cook but failing when trying to access the program files directory for the log files.
What I would like to know is if there is a way to change the paths of those values to another directory so that we can maintain the security process on the machines.
I can see in the cook logs that there is a section where the UAt sets a lot of environment variables, these variables are storing the paths we need to change. But I can not find in the settings where these can be changed.
This is the log file in question,
\AppData\Roaming\Unreal Engine\AutomationTool\Logs\C+Program+Files+Epic+Games+UE_5.0\Log.txt
and the section that refers to the env variables is as follows.
Setting up command environment.
