Its me (with my personal account). I haven’t find out the solution and reason for the problem yet, Tired half of this but doesn’t work yet: The problem of the form "Error: [Callstack] *your hexadecimal number* UnrealEditor-CoreUObject.dll!UnknownFunction []"
KIV.

Just an update. Upon tracing I see the major course of it is "LogModuleManager: Display: Unable to bootstrap from archive " , which would be easier to google…

I am having the same issue on a new machine with a blank project. Have you found a solution?

maybe trying to install the prefered vscode version?
(for me ue5.4.4): UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): Visual Studio 2022 compiler version 14.41.34123 is not a preferred version. Please use the latest preferred version 14.38.33130

For those who have the same errors years after, I finnaly found that if you desactivate the Fab Plugin (that is automatically activated) it works.

I had the same error, trying to package a blank project to which I did no modifications.
