Ok I recreated the problem and have a solution that might work for you.
Here are the images below. I had this issue earlier and this solved the problem. With every major update some new things may be added that change your environment I noticed. It’s just a matter of narrowing it down and finding the solution.
Just a game I’m working on

Wait a sec… Do I need visual studio installed in order to package a project?
I have Visual Studio installed but I don’t actually use it for coding. I work with blueprints. Try installing Visual Studio.
I’m using a pre compiled version of the engine. Also I don’t know anything about visual studio as I’m not a programmer.
I have the visual studio 2010 express installer cd. Will it work? or I have to download the latest version?
I am also Facing the same issue with project build
unable to build template project
here is the error I get

Here is no one to look at the logs. Everyone posts links to some solutions but no one looks at the logs which can say what the really problem is. 
Hi Sohan,
Can you post this on the AnswerHub in the Packaging and Deployment section?
Thank you!
hey
what else you want with the post in answerHUB ??
(complete log + anything else ? )
Post the log along with the link to this thread. The more details you can provide the easier it will be to look into the problem. Make sure to list things you’ve tried and where the hangups are happening.
Thanks!
