My project refuses to package for Windows, I cant seem to find a previous topic on this particular problem occuring, so I’m hoping someone here might be able to shed some light on the cause.
I’ve made the log file available on drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mfPnLeEsX0293C4ftQx0LS73VaLase78/view?usp=sharing
The main error seems to be: ERROR: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Thanks!
Just had similar happen to me. Fix was to disable “Houdini Engine” plugin
Your log is not identical, so it may not work, but I do see you have the same plugin in your log.
Suspect this could be fixed by configuring the plugin, but untested.
Still have this problem and have no idea how to find the solution. This is the only error I see and I only have 1 instance of it. Here is my full Error log:
PackagingResults: Error: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Please help with a fix. I am unable to package my build because of this error.
Here is my Full output log. It’s not that long, but results in a Build Failed Result.
