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
Result: The zip process fails
Expected: The project is converted to a zipped file in the location you selected
