I just want to preface this by saying this is my first real interaction with unreal engine development itself outside of keeping up with cool features and hypotheticals. i have no advanced coding knowledge, but im hoping to work on that with this project.
I am trying to set up a custom build of UE 4.21 so that i can use my ZED 2i camera with unreal in order to build a live scanned 3d environment. I am trying to build UE4 from source, and I have followed this guide:
https://github.com/Stereolabs-Unreal/UnrealEngine
When I build, 3 of the 4 packages install fine, but the fourth one fails. when i try and build again, this is the entire output:

I have run in admin mode, I have run with VS 2022, 2019 and 2017 to no avail. I unblocked the zip file before extracting, i have removed all permissions from the folders. I have done the basic user stuff, and done all I can find on search without actually modifying code I dont understand.
I have also tried UE4.27.2 with the ZED plugins to suit but i was having another myriad of issues with compatibility. I have also tried to check the Per-User Redirection thing and there is no option for it.
I found a way to make it an option but I had to change some setting to make it an exe and I didn’t want to break something permenantly since i think ive redownloaded so much stuff trying to get this working im scared to check how much data i have left.
Making a post was gonna be my last cry for help so hopefully someone has a solution here.
I have been trying to fix this for days and I’ve found no solution. That being said, it’s 2am, I have a smooth brain and I am probably missing something blindingly obvious, and I’m scared of the consequences of what I could unleash banging my head against the wall for hours again.
If someone can help me fix this, I will mail you a kiss.
Thank you
