I just got the Rider IDE, and made a new project.
I updated the IDE to the latest version.
Rider did its startup sequence and told me I need RiderLink, either install in the Engine or to a project.
Both options result in an error message:
Failed to build RiderLink plugin
From what I could find online its always the plugin from the marketplace.
So I uninstalled the two plugins from the marketplace I had installed, but this error persist.
It points to a log from which I dont really know what I am looking at.
I see a lot of repeats of these lines:
“Excluded folder name”
“Not under compatible directories”
“because it doesn’t appear to be a module header.”
“Could not find include directory for”
“is not exporting types so we are ignoring the dependency”
“doesn’t exist.”
At the end there is a short section which starts with “------ Building 83 action(s) started ------”
And it seems that it keeps stopping at number 80 with this message:

It seems that last part is actually describing the error, but I dont know what it means.
Also, I dont really know what it refers to with D:\build, for as far as I know I only have a C:\ drive, and no USB attached.
Is Rider missing some references to the right folder?
If so, where are those hidden?
Or is it something else?
