Hello ue4 community!

Description

Since one week i have problems with packaging my project for any platform
I´ve tested one week but don´t found anything that resolves the issue.

I´ve reinstalled my hole PC multiple times too.

The issue comes first on this Platform:

  • Windows 8.1 latest update
  • Unreal Engine 4.8.3

Then i decided to reinstall my pc with Windows 8.1 & Unreal Engine 4.8.3, but the issue has remained.

The hole week i tried all this combinations:

First combination (Error occurred)

  • Windows 8.1 latest update
  • Unreal Engine 4.8.3
  • Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate

First fresh installation

  • Windows 8.1 latest update
  • Unreal Engine 4.8.3
  • Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate

Second fresh installation

  • Windows 8.1 latest update
  • Unreal Engine 4.9 preview 1 & 2
  • Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate
  • Visual Studio 2015 Professional

Third fresh installation

  • Windows 10 Pro
  • Unreal Engine 4.8.3
  • Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate
  • Visual Studio 2015 Professional

Fourth fresh installation

  • Windows 10 Pro
  • Unreal Engine 4.9 preview 2 & 3
  • Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate

My Findings

  • The error don´t occur with my project on an other PC with Windows 10 & UE 4.9
  • The error only occur if the project have a source folder
  • Packaging is successful for blueprint only projects
  • I found someone that only posted this on pastebin with same error http://pastebin.com/aDPFh9UT

I’m really grateful for any help!!

Best regards,
Maik
