After pulling branch 4.27 from source, running Setup.bat gives me the following error: ```auto Checking dependencies... Updating dependencies: 0% (3/10656), 0.7 MiB cached... Failed to download 'http://cdn.unrealengine.com/dependencies/UnrealEngine-16624087/135d2dfcfa4bbe7dd725f03f844323624525ed4a': The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden. (WebException) Press any key to continue . . . ``` I’ve tried every fix under the sun for this one; I’ve turned off firewall and windows defender, I’ve changed the link url in commit.gitdeps to use https, made sure the path doesn’t have any spaces, and moved the folder to somewhere with a shorter file path. Nothing I do is working, and the file is inaccessible in my browser. _Begging_ for help, I’ve never had an issue using the source build before now. ---

OK, I’m seeing this error as well for all 4.24 versions. bing AI brought me to this upload, and I found a fix - this error is coming from this file: Engine/Build/Commit.gitdeps.xml Just be sure to download the xml file for your release tag. ---

Just got to : “[https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/releases/download/{your\_version}-release/Commit.gitdeps.xml](https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/releases/download/%7Byour_version%7D-release/Commit.gitdeps.xml)” it should look like this for 4.25.0 : “[https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/releases/download/4.25.0-release/Commit.gitdeps.xml](https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/releases/download/4.25.0-release/Commit.gitdeps.xml)” and put the downloaded “Commit.gitdeps.xml” in the “Root\Engine\Build” folder. You should be ready to relaunch the “setup.bat” ! ---

I had this error because I was switching to the 5.0-5.1 tag but it seems these tags don’t update when fixes like these are pushed so the fix for me was to switch to the 5.0 branch which includes additional fixes. ---
