Hi,
I’m trying to package (build) my project, but keep getting errors that I don’t understand. I also cannot launch the game through the editor using the Launch button.

Here’s part of my error log for when I try to package the game for windows:

MainFrameActions: Packaging (Windows): UE4Editor-Cmd: Execution of commandlet took:  20.31 seconds

I’m running the Editor as administrator, just in case.

I’m looking for information on how to deploy the project correctly.

I installed an older version 4.0.2 and I can cook and package fine. There might be a bug in the latest version 4.1.1?

3

After installing the 4.2 version, I was able to launch the game.

However, it only works on the editor. When I try to cook the project for windows, it still gives me a “cook failed” message. I really desperately need help. I already tried installing the VS Express 2013 but that made no difference.

Is there a bug also un 4.4 ???.By exporting thr package I only have the template in my exe. Even Idelete the content in the browser.
