I can't package my project. PLEASE help.

I’ve spent several hours trying to figure out different way to package my project, and nothing is working. I’ve tried copying it, moving it to different directories, renaming directories, verifying the engine, using different package settings, I feel like I’ve tried it ALL and nothing is seeming to work.

Earlier in the log, it says this:

Found project file: C:\Users\Preston's PC\Documents\Unreal Projects\InsideOut\InsideOut.uproject

Later during the build configuration which is where is the error arises, it says this:

Unable to find project 'C:\Users\Prestons'.

Why is it doing this? Again, I’ve tried different directories thinking maybe the space was the issue. If it is possible, I could give somebody the full unreal file and see if one of you can package it to see if it is a project or computer issue? I don’t know. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It’s that quote sign in the path name causing the problem

I was hoping that was the one issue it wasn’t but it was. The apostrophe caused issues with Unreal’s packaging. :frowning: I had to change my windows file directory itself, and if anybody else has this issue in the future, this is how you solve it:

  1. Go to Computer management > Local User > Users > Activate built in admin.
  2. Sign out and log in to this admin account. (Or you can make another account, and make it admin from your original admin account).
  3. Go to users folder and change the name on this new account. (No space within name)
  4. Go to Computer management > Local User > Users >
  5. Select your account and give it the same name as in the users folder.
  6. Double click it and in the new dialogue box, change the display name. You can keep it something else and even add space within the letters.
  7. Now it’s time to update the registry, so open the Windows Registry Editor.
  8. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList
  9. Find your SID and inside it by looking at the profile paths and update the desired profile path. You should only have to change the last section.
  10. After this, sign out, restart, and login to your other account. If you want, you can delete the other account.
