C++ Compile error Invalid Access to memory location [Solved]

[IvarTheStrong]

Hello Every, I have gotten to the point in the course where I need to compile my project. Specifically the Obstacle Assault one. However, after following the steps, reinstalling all the relevant programs. Including Unreal Engine. I still hit the same wall. Here is the error code:

• Executing task in folder StoneRunner: Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat StoneRunnerEditor Win64 Development ‘D:\Unreal Projects\StoneRunner\StoneRunner.uproject’ -waitmutex

[Upgrade]
[Upgrade] Using backward-compatible include order. The latest version of UE has changed the order of includes, which may require code changes. The current setting is:
[Upgrade] IncludeOrderVersion = EngineIncludeOrderVersion.Unreal5_0
[Upgrade] Suppress this message by setting ‘IncludeOrderVersion = EngineIncludeOrderVersion.Unreal5_1;’ in StoneRunnerEditor.Target.cs.
[Upgrade] Alternatively you can set this to ‘EngineIncludeOrderVersion.Latest’ to always use the latest include order. This will potentially cause compile errors when integrating new versions of the engine.

Okay so the way I solved it is by having the engine, VS Code, VS and the project itself on the same drive. And that is the main drive for me. Apparently not having your projects and Engine on the same drive get’s a bit weird with the compile.
