Hi,i know this thread is old and I dunno if you ever gonna read this. I have the same problem and running the editor as an administrator did not solve the problem. I tried every solution i've come across on the net and still no luck in packaging my project. by any chance, what did you do to fix your problem?

It seems that Unreal cooking systems needs to access 'C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.22\Engine\Programs\AutomationTool\Saved' to store a temporary cook file.

You do not seem to have access to this folder. I would try to run the editor with elevated privileges or give your current user access to C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.22\ sub folders.

Having a very similar issue but not as clear an error message. I've been making quite the monologue on a post for it this last week. Would really appricate any help: https://forums.unrealengine.com/deve...on-cook-failed

Thanks Flavien that worked!

I ran unreal editor exe in the binaries as an admin, however i have to do this every time i want to open and compile a project.

Is there a way to permanently give it admin status so i can use project exe's instead? I tried doing it through properties but then the engine wouldnt even launch.

Thanks again for the quick response!

As soon as cook is initiated it fails with errors like this, even on temp projects like VR tempt or Third person temp:
