I built Unreal Engine 4.22 today to work on pak files, but UnrealPak seems to just straight up not exist. It’s odd, because even if it were windows only, I SHOULD have an exe since I have EXEs for everything else. I can see UnrealPak in the source (//UnrealEngine/Engine/Source/Programs/UnrealPak/) but I do not see UnrealPak anywhere in the install directories or anywhere else.

I legitimately cannot play around with pak files otherwise, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
