Packaged project not opening in windows - unreal-engine4

I am attempting to create a Halloween style game for a competition I am entering, however once I have packaged it and the Windows No Editor folder is created, I double click on the exe program to open it. The blue, circular loading symbol appears for a few seconds before disappearing and doing nothing. I have noticed that the executable file is only 183KB large. For a 3 level game I expected it to be bigger.
Here is what my packaging settings are:
(I have also tried setting the "Use Pak File" to false which just makes a blank window)
The warnings I get when I am packaging are: LogLinker: Warning: Failed to load Game/2DSideScrollerBP/2DSideScrollerOverview': Can't find file. (I shouldn't be using this file as it is a 3D game that I am making)
LogLinker: Warning: Failed to load '/Game/2DSideScrollerBP/2DSideScrollerOverview': Can't find file.

I have tried saving the asset and repackaging but this message still appears. I don't know if this changes anything though. Is it possible that it may have something to do with the settings I am using?

It doesn't sound as though any of your assets were cooked or packaged. First thing I would recommend is to check Epic's Unreal packaging documentation and ensure that you've followed the steps. Then, when packaging, watch your log and ensure that it's not throwing warnings or errors as it tries to package the project.

Hololens 2 + Unreal Packaging fails just on device

I have created a minimal Unreal project using the starter content. I have generated signing certificates, and successfully packaged and run the project on the Hololens 2 emulator.
However, when I try to package the same project for my device, I get a the following failure:
UATHelper: Packaging (HoloLens): Using ARM64 architecture for deploying to HoloLens device

perl Imager::File::PNG. Why does the install fail to find my libpng installed via MacPorts?

I have installed libpng via MacPorts. Check.
I have install Imager via cpan install. During the install it fails to find the path to my libpng which I installed via MacPorts without any issues.
This is the contents of /usr/local/lib:
libpng.3.dylib*
libpng.3.dylib.dSYM/
libpng12.0.dylib*
libpng12.0.dylib.dSYM/

What have I missed?

- I am install on MacBook running Maverick (10.9.3)

Problems installing cocos3d

And as of now I can not create a new cocos3d project, it all ran but I have no cocos3d template in xcode ?? any help :) thanks
The script apparently tries to copy the files from
/Users/Torgerson/cocos2d
and
/Users/Torgerson/cocos3d
Moving cocos2d and cocos3d to these directories should fix it.
It is due to problem in installation. Follow the correct installation steps. I also suffered the same problem. So just go through the steps in the following link,
http://www.techipost.com/2011/02/20/installing-cocos3d-for-iphoneipad/
You can check, whether u have installed cocos3d templates or not, using terminal window.
