When you added 14.38, did you delete your binaries, intermediate and saved folders?

Give this a try:

Close Visual Studio and Unreal Editor and Launch the Visual Studio Installer. Click Modify and under individual components search for 14.38. Select the CLI, Build tools and ATL items for the x86/x64 only.

Now, in your project folder, remove binaries, intermediate, ipch, .vs, DerivedDataCache, Saved and finally the .sln file. Don’t open the project just yet.

Check the folder assuming VS is installed on C Drive: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Enterprise\VC\Tools\MSVC\ and check the version. There should be a folder called 14.38.33130

Now you have that confirmed, Navigate to “%appdata%\Unreal Engine\UnrealBuildTool” (WINDOWS+R or run from start menu) and edit BuildConfiguration.xml so it has the following: (it probably has LatestVersion in there)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">
	<WindowsPlatform>
		<CompilerVersion>14.38.33130</CompilerVersion>
		<ToolchainVersion>14.38.33130</ToolchainVersion>
	</WindowsPlatform>
</Configuration>

Now you’ve done all that, launch your project and it will prompt you to build, say yes and hopefully you have a working setup

I have no idea if this works for 5.2 but you can use 5.4 with the course if need be and the steps will work with that.

Let me know how you get on.

It didn’t work out still gives the same messages.
By the way I downloaded this individiual componets. Almost all of them…

Thinking about downgrading UE5.5.4 to 5.03. Can it work?

You shouldn’t have to. Try 5.4 first before you get started. As it happens, 5.0 is even worse to set up now as it also shows the same issues but needs a different version of MSVC again from 5.4 and 5.5

Okey then. I’ll download 5.4.4. then try all the things which lesson teach. I hope i don’t hit a wall again… Thanks so much

i uninstalled and re downloaded all coding program in case i downloaded wrong things. it still gives this message?

could it be something about my pc connected to OneDrive and all files automaticly install in onedrive files?

Absolutely, and also you need to avoid non-ascii characters in the path too. Basically a-z, A-Z and 0-9, and a few symbols are safe such as _ - and so on.

oh i didnt think about that. i was just using my native language :frowning: i will keep you in date after unlinking onedrive thanks

I’m not sure why the characters are an issue but I’ve seen issues with others too. OneDrive is a major issue as it blocks the files as you build causing strange failures and eventually corruption.

it looks like all my problems about onedrive. i started using 5.4.4. and unlinked onedrive. also changed the user. thanks for all your help
