Suddenly won't package - Error message claiming in 'cannot create package folders'

I have been using Indesign for years and packaging my projects when complete.

Today when I was updating a previous document, I've resaved it and tried to package - it comes up with the message: Indesign cannot package the document XXX. Cannot create package folders."

I'm saving onto my laptop device, in a different folder but essentially as I usually do (nowhere different). Can anyone help? I haven't changed any settings as far as I'm aware, and I have the latest update (I have subscription to adobe cloud).

Do you have any non ASCII characters in the name of the INDD file - or anywhere in the path? Including your logged in user account?

 

Screenshot of the error message would help.

Hi, no it doesn't have any and not anywhere else in the file that I can see, and hasn't under previous versions when I've saved it either. I've attached an image of what pops up, but it's bascially as I said above.

It's the latest version/update on the cloud. 19.4 (updated in April) and I use Microsoft Windows 11 - again all updates have been checked and applied.

Roll back to 19.3 and try again.
