Can't build fresh proj on UE 5.3 on Rider

Development Programming & Scripting
22

This works even though clicking .sln file and opening Rider doesnt to run. idk the difference, configuration?

23

I think there’s a possible issue with the dependencies that the sln tracks, hence the request of the SDKs for other platform like MacOS even if you’re not building it for it.

24

After some conversation with JetBrains support, we’ve found out that with Ue 5.3 you need to install .NET desktop development and Desktop development with C++ from Visual Studio Build tools or Visual Studio Installer.

Just to say, I had the same issue and I fixed that just installing the .Net SDK and running the Rider as administrator, now everything works fine. For some reason, it’s not loading the Engine code inside Rider, for me showed a message that I didn’t have permission to access the Engine folder of UE, but that doesn’t have sense, I just ran as administrator after install all dependencies of .Net SDK and now works fine!!!

Thank you for posting this! This is the only thing that worked for me.

I know this is a bit of an old thread but for anyone else that is running into this and getting the message regarding, Microsoft.NET.SDK.WorkloadAutoImportPropsLocator, apparently you can disable this lookup by setting the flag MSBuildEnableWorkloadResolver to false.

I’m not sure how to do so in Visual Studio but if you happen to be using Rider you can refer to this post

https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/RIDER-97292/The-SDK-Microsoft.NET.SDK.WorkloadAutoImportPropsLocator-specified-could-not-be-found.#focus=Comments-27-8171974.0-0

Could be worth trying first before installing a bunch of stuff you might not need right away if at all.

This also worked for me. I was having the same problems with UE 5.3.2

34

Just hit the same error and this was the solution.

  • Left for the weekend with a working project
  • Returned to this error.
  • Solved by installing desktop development
