Missing AllDesktop.Automation.dll from UE 4.27-chaos

While packaging following this guide: https://github.com/AutumnFloof/HL-Modding-Guide

I get the following error:

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): ERROR: Failed to load script DLL: (UEPath)\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\AutomationScripts\AllDesktop\AllDesktop.Automation.dll: Could not load file or assembly 'AllDesktop.Automation.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the path specified.

I looked and it's indeed missing. I followed the setup to the letter. What am I missing?

Had the same problem until new commit but now I have the same error but with Android.Automation.dll:

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): ERROR: Failed to load script DLL: (UEPath)\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\AutomationScripts\Android\Android.Automation.dll: Could not load file or assembly 'AllDesktop.Automation.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the path specified.

Same as AllDesktop its just not there

Can confirm, exact same experience here. The error changed to Android.Automation.dll after pulling. It's weird because we're not targeting these platforms in any way, but it seems that Unreal requires the DLLs anyway.

You can open the .sln in the uproject directory with visual studio, then under programs to the left find automation tool, right click and press build selected. Trying to figure out why the right things aren't uploading though, have never had this issue with any other engine build.

I installed ue 4.27 from epic launcher and stole those files from it:

\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\AutomationScripts\Android\Android.Automation.dll
\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\AutomationScripts\HoloLens\HoloLens.Automation.dll
\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\AutomationScripts\IOS\IOS.Automation.dll
\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\AutomationScripts\Lumin\Lumin.Automation.dll
\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\AutomationScripts\Mac\Mac.Automation.dll
\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\AutomationScripts\TVOS\TVOS.Automation.dll

No idea why they are even needed but works like a charm now :D
