Yes I was launching in ‘Development’ configuration. Thanks for correcting me.
So I’ve done a ‘rebuild’ of UE4 in ‘Development’ configuration, and now switched back to ‘Development Editor’ configuration, F5 to debug, and now packaging works, and i can launch from the packaged file! However, I’m still getting error when I hit the ‘launch’ button within the editor. It’s a different error time:

But, as long as I can package the project I’ve got what I need. Thanks!
