Description

When trying to zip the project the editor fails almost immediately. The output logs shows as follows:

UATHelper: Zip Project Task (Windows): Running AutomationTool...
UATHelper: Zip Project Task (Windows): CSC : error CS2001: Source file 'D:\Epic Games\4.14\Engine\Source\Programs\AutomationToolLauncher\..\DotNETCommon\MetaData.cs' could not be found. [D:\Epic Games\4.14\Engine\Source\Programs\AutomationToolLauncher\AutomationToolLauncher.csproj]
UATHelper: Zip Project Task (Windows): RunUAT.bat ERROR: AutomationTool failed to compile.
UATHelper: Zip Project Task (Windows): BUILD FAILED

This is a regression since our pre-branch regression pass in Main CL 3149070

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open a project
  2. File > Package Project > Zip it up
  3. Select a location (Desktop)

Result: The zip process fails

Expected: The project is converted to a zipped file in the location you selected
