Unable to package any project

Since installing 4.18 I’ve been unable to package any project in any version of Unreal Engine.

When choosing “package” it will instantly return “successful” but there is no log output or file output.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled UE 4.18 as well as verified it and tried to package new projects.

I have also tried packaging under UE 4.17 and have exactly the same behaviour in new, blank projects.

What gives?

Update: uninstalled Visual Studio, uninstalled everything Epic/Unreal Engine, deleted any remaining settings folders under %appdata%, reinstalled 4.17/2, rebooted, made a new project, tried to package, still failed in exactly the same way.

Some sort of way of debugging this would be appreciated.

Hi,
Before i have exact same problem but i don’t remember how i solved it. Anyways try to delete saved and Intermediate folders from your project.

Regards!

I don’t think that’s going to help.

I’ve solved it. I guess this most likely won’t happen to anyone else, but in case it does:

  1. Notice that you can’t open a CMD prompt
  2. Download MalwareBytes and run it. Let it remove a malicious autorun script.
  3. Reboot. Everything is fixed.

So that was pretty bizarre.
