Building UE 4.27 fails due to missing Physx headers on Microsoft Windows

[monstercoo]

I’m having this issue on 4.27.2, with:

• Visual Studio 2019 v16.5
• Windows SDK 10.0.18362 (also retargeted to 10.0.22000)
• Nuget Package Manager & Nuget targets and build tasks

Same here. Tried different WSDK without luck.

Anyone else was able to resolve this issue?

i’ve set <<UE>>\Engine\Source\Programs\UnrealFileServer\UnrealFileServer.Target.cs\

bCompileAgainstEngine = true;

and it kind of helped, but i still get certain errors

like some of the other posts suggested, I removed the HeadlessChaos, UnrealFileServer, etc from the solution and never looked back. It’s very unlikely that you need these projects.

I recently grabbed the UE 4.27 Plus branch from github and ran into all of these errors while using Visual Studio 2019, but someone suggested to try VS 2022, so I did and that fixed everything.

Make sure to install with the following modules

I follow the instructions of UE 4_27 build failed and every works fine!!!
