PackagingResults Error Failed to build UAT.proj

I have a dedicated game server compiled from UE 4.22 sources (Github stable branch) and an associated game client.

Unfortunately, using the editor UE 4.22 compiled from sources (Github stable branch), upon packaging the project in UE, I get the following error:

After opening the project in Visual Studio, I noticed that I am missing UWP.Automation in the Solution Explorer.

If I switch engine version to the 4.22 installed from Epic Launcher, the client packaging succeeds, however, not from 4.22 built from Github production branch source, which I need it to, in order to connect to the same version of the game’s server built from the same engine branch.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!

SOLUTION:
Older Visual Studio versions are known to cause problems with Unreal Engine.

Just open the project with the newest Visual Studio 2019 and you should get a message like: “Install … for Unreal Engine Automation tool” etc. just hit “install” and let Visual Studio download the missing parts.

Voilà, packaging works fine now.

In Visual Studio,

Right-click and rebuild AutomationTool.
