Iget this error when trying to package: \> UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): ERROR: Unable to instantiate module ‘UnrealEd’: Unable to instantiate UnrealEd module for non-editor targets.

> UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): (referenced via Target → Nemo.Build.cs → BlueprintGraph.Build.cs → KismetCompiler.Build.cs)

I have a bunch of cpp files in project, glanced through all of them and none references the ‘UnrealEd’ directly, nor the \*.Build.cs, how do I find the culprit? Even tried copying all the source and plugins to empty project but then it packages fine so I guess this is somehow blueprint related.

```
PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Core", "CoreUObject", "Engine", "InputCore", "Paper2D", "NavigationSystem", "AIModule", "Landscape", "GameplayTags", "UMG" }); PrivateDependencyModuleNames.AddRange(new string[] { "Water", "Slate", "SlateCore"});

```

Thank you for posting this question.

A good start would be to look through your logs and see if there are any lines that pertain to anything being “Editor Only”.

As stated by Original Poster [here](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/unable-to-instantiate-unrealed-module-for-non-editor-targets/150048/3).

there are exactly zero hints besides

for some reason the .uproject had this thing attached:

> “Modules”: [  
> {  
> “Name”: “Nemo”,  
> “Type”: “Runtime”,  
> “LoadingPhase”: “Default”,  
> “AdditionalDependencies”: [  
> “Engine”,  
> “AIModule”,  
> “BlueprintGraph”  
> ]

and for no good reason, after removing those dependencies packaging worked
