Problem solved. After several days of struggling here is what finally solved my problem.

By wanting to generate the project file as Evil\_Pee suggested to me, I realized that I did not have the generate visual studio project file option in the windows context menu by right-clicking on the game exe.

To fix this I followed this forum:

Checking out this thread: [Association .uproject / unreal are broken - Debugging, Optimization, & Profiling - Epic Developer Community Forums](https://forums.unrealengine.com/showthread.php?109862-Association-uproject-unreal-are-broken) As suggested in the bottom of the thread I manually copied the ‘UnrealVersionSelector.exe’ from ‘C:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\Launcher\Engine\Binaries\Win64’ to the engine binaries folder: C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE\_4.15\Engine\Binaries\Win64’ Then set the uproject file to associ…

(Don’t forget to run the newly placed ‘UnrealVersionSelector’ once after I set the new association)

The option in the context menu finally appeared. I can again use the epic game launcher to launch my projects.

But the generate visual studio project file option was giving me an error. So I installed visual studio 2019 in addition to the 2022 that I already had.

Despite this I still could not generate the project file with visual studio. On the other hand, by launching the project from the epic launcher, the project opens. I relaunched a packaging with the plugins activated and finally it worked.

Hoping that can help. Thanks a lot for the help.
