Hey AinTen- Can you provide the full output log from the package attempt? Do you get the same message when trying to package other projects? Is your package configuration set to Development or Shipping? Please let me know what your setup is to help me investigate the issue on my end. ---

It seems I find step sequence 1. create blank project (i think other templates rise error too) 2. add any c++ class to the project 3. add “DesktopPlatform” to PublicDependencyModuleNames.AddRange in ProjectName.Build.cs 4. try to package project to win 32/64 ---

Hey AinTen- It was brought to my attention that DesktopPlatform is a development module, which is against the EULA to distribute with shipped games. This is why attempting to include it when packaging is causing the package to fail. ---
