# Troubleshoot

**Bug with 4.25.4**

There is a known issue with 4.25.4 where it fails to build with an error message: `AutomationException: Attempt to add file to temp storage manifest that does not exist (\cpp.hint)` This issue has been fixed in 4.26 but if you need to use 4.25.4 see this workaround by Bernard Rouhi: https://github.com/ryanjon2040/UE4-Binary-Builder/issues/26#issuecomment-718204352

**Access Denied on some files?**

On Windows, just change the ownership to Users then try again. To change ownership on Windows, follow these steps

 - Right click on the UE4 folder, choose Properties

 - Switch to Security tab

 - Click on Advanced

 - Near the top, click on Change User

 - A new dialog will open, in the text box at bottom, type in "Users", then click Check Names

 - OK till the end.
