hi guys,

am i missing some VS components? it’s driving me crazy. Any help is appreciated.

VS 2026 18.7.1

Unreal 5.7.4

Win11 10.0.26100

2

so, removing the following file solves this:

“%AppData%\Unreal Engine\UnrealBuildTool\BuildConfiguration.xml”

but new ones show up. from what I’ve been tryin so far, it’s better to stick with VS2022 for now.
