Additional Information
The reason for the empty result is because the source dataset (Point_To/Point_From) values fall on a cost value of zero. This has always been documented although in previous releases it was executing and producing questionable results. "The cost raster cannot contain values of zero since the algorithm is a multiplicative process. If your cost raster does contain values of zero, and these values represent areas of lowest cost, change values of zero to a small positive value (such as 0.01) before running Cost Distance, by first running the Con tool. If areas with a value of zero represent areas that should be excluded from the analysis, these values should be turned to NoData before running Cost Distance, by first running the Set Null tool."Steps to Reproduce
