Howdy!

I’ve successfully used BuildGraph previously but for some reason when trying to run a build recently on a new machine it isn’t able to complete. This is a fresh machine with visual studio 2017 only.

The command I used was:

Engine\Binaries\DotNET\AutomationTool.exe BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Win64" -script="Engine\Build\InstalledEngineBuild.xml" -clean -set:HostPlatformOnly=true -set:WithDDC=false

After running for a while it fails with the error:

StripTask.Execute: Stripping symbols: C:\Users\photex\Projects\UnrealEngine\Engine\Binaries\Win64\Android\UE4Editor-Android_ASTCTargetPlatform.pdb -> C:\Users\photex\Projects\UnrealEngine\Saved\Engine\Binaries\Win64\Android\UE4Editor-Android_ASTCTargetPlatform.pdb
Program.Main: ERROR: AutomationTool terminated with exception: ERROR: Failed to start local process for action ("The system cannot find the file specified"): \PDBCopy.exe "C:\Users\photex\Projects\UnrealEngine\Engine\Binaries\Win64\Android\UE4Editor-Android_ASTCTargetPlatform.pdb" "C:\Users\photex\Projects\UnrealEngine\Saved\Engine\Binaries\Win64\Android\UE4Editor-Android_ASTCTargetPlatform.pdb" -p
Program.Main: AutomationTool exiting with ExitCode=1 (Error_Unknown)

I have no idea why or from where the path \PDBCopy.exe is coming from but it doesn’t exist on my machine.

Any advice? I can’t find a copy of pdbcopy.exe anywhere on my machine.
