figured it out, Nevermind

Cannot build due to .json file version not supported

I hit this error as well. I wrote a Python script (below) to automatically hack all the JSON files to be version 1.1 instead of 1.2. After editing any source code, but before recompiling (either in VS2022 or using Live Coding), I always run my Python script (below) from my <project_root>/Intermediate/Build/Win64 directory. My python script (I called it fix_json.py): import os, fnmatch def findReplace(directory, find, replace, filePattern): for path, dirs, files in os.walk(os.path.abspath…

I have tested the following build tools which you can install via Windows Start Menu > Visual Studio Installer > Modify > Individual components

v143.32 is where the problem with the 1.2 version started.

With v14.29 things just work ™; So I suggest you install that one.
v14.30 and v14.31 require you to specify the compiler version in the BuildConfiguration.xml as described in the linked thread above.

v14.30 is 14.30.30705
v14.31 is 14.31.31103

After installing an older compiler listed above you will need to do a full rebuild. To ensure that you have done that and not an incremental build please delete the Binaries and Intermediate folders before compiling.
