I am first time trying to package project. I get this error message and packaging fails:

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): ERROR: C:\Users\janih\Documents\Unreal Projects\SuunnistusTest\SuunnistusTest.uproject does not look like uproject file but no targets have been found!

PackagingResults: Error: Unknown Error

What can cause this and how i can fix it ?

Do you make a C++ module? Probably some module or target cs file are missing.
Or maybe something wrong with the uproject file, open it with a text editing program and see if there is something not right.

I only use nodes. How i can check that uproject file everything is correct ?
It’s complaining about level file but i can’t open it with text editor (even i could i have no idea what to look for).

Before this error there is this line:

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): SuunnistusTest.uproject requires a temporary target.cs to be generated (MeshModelingToolset plugin is enabled)

Does it have any connection to this error?

I solved this issue by installing Visual Studio 2022. After installing it i did not get this error anymore and packaking was working.

I had the same problem but it was because I had enabled DLSS plugin. Once disabled, it packaged normally.

Thank you for this tip and link ! :smiley: It made my day trying to export as .exe. as an absolute beginner. Both Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio 2019 was asked for in the output log so I checked them in the side bar when installing. (and you won´t need Incredibuild)
