Hi Martynas,

I see you have posted here. Kory spotted that you installed ARM libraries instead of the x86/x64 versions which you would need for a standard PC (Intel/AMD based)

Did you have any success installing the libraries?

Today I found the problem. It was that my registry variables had drifted from C:\Windows\System32 to another location, and because of that Unreal Engine couldn’t read the .bat files — it simply couldn’t find them. Once I fixed the registry variables, everything started working, and I’m back to working on the course.

Thanks for the help! :slight_smile:

That is strange and that should never have happened.

At least it is working now and I’m glad you’ve got it fixed. Good luck with the course.
