Hello, i downloaded the UE5 EA a few days ago and wante to start playing arround with it, i noticed that i all of the sudden with the UE5 i can’t create C++ projects anymmore and it allway gives me this error

‘’  
An error occurred while trying to generate project files.

Running C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE\_5.0EA/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool/UnrealBuildTool.exe -projectfiles -project=“C:/Users/ziva1/Documents/Unreal Projects/MyProject2/MyProject2.uproject” -game -rocket -progress  
It was not possible to find any compatible framework version  
The specified framework ‘Microsoft.NETCore.App’, version ‘3.1.0’ was not found.

- Check application dependencies and target a framework version installed at:  
C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE\_5.0EA\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\UnrealBuildTool\

- Installing .NET Core prerequisites might help resolve this problem:  
[Install .NET on Windows | Microsoft Docs](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=798306&clcid=0x409)

- The .NET Core framework and SDK can be installed from:  
[.NET Downloads (Linux, macOS, and Windows)](https://aka.ms/dotnet-download)  
\_ To run this application, you need to install a newer version of .NET Core.

- [.NET Downloads (Linux, macOS, and Windows)](https://aka.ms/dotnet-core-applaunch?missing_runtime=true&arch=x64&rid=win10-x64)

‘’

Which is weird since i have all the NET frames installed and i worked on C++ before with UE4.26

I tried diffrent NET frames now from 3.1.0 all up to 6.0.0 preview nothing works

Blueprint projects work perfectly fine tho what i also noticed i can’t import an Assets from the marketplace into an UE5 project.

Can anyone help me out here?

Don’t worry, you just have to restart your computer firs…
