when i right click on my uproject i don’t get the
“This is now done by right clicking on the .uproject file and selecting Generate Visual Studio Files.”
as stated in the update note
here’s a pic, please excuse the german windows
build #1808360
have VS2012 express with updates installed
Hi George, we do apologize for the headache. We’ve only been able to reproduce this issue once, and it might be caused by having 2 different beta versions installed side-by-side at one time. The program association was then unregistered when one of the betas was uninstalled.
We’re currently working on a final fix, but the following work-around should work…
First, please verify that the uproject file is associated with “UE4” and is set to always use it by right clicking → open with. If this is all correct (which it probably is), then try the following…
This worked in our single repro case and hopefully for you too. As for the headaches with code projects. We understand the frustration and are trying to check in all painful code changes early on to get it out of the way. While there are always engine changes that require updates in personal code projects, these should be greatly reduced over time.
sorry still no joy, the only option i now have is to use build CL1761932 to create blank projects for all my test/main projects then migrate the content to these blanks and hope the content stays linked together.
to be honest i think you should look at other options to generate to code files, relying purely on a right click menu seems to be very limited when you consider the amount of junk that other programmes put there. Please remember that most Rocket/UDK users don’t have pure dev computers
The intent is to allow programmers easy access to the sln regeneration option as it’s used quite frequently. We’re very open to suggestions that would allow users flexibility and usability.
As for your original problem - do you remember if any beta (previous or current) was saved to a specific folder other than the root Program Files directory? It might be that the fix above only works when using that original location. Our only repro case has since been fixed so we can’t verify that that’s the case.
i understand your trying to make things easier for us, i just don’t understand why i don’t get the right click option, maybe because i’m using VS 2012 Express !!!
i always install Rocket to D:\Rocket due to the fact of problems with UDK and the Windows UAC in the past by other users.
i’ve tried editing the bat file to point to the unrealbuildtool which ran fine, i’ve copied the new UE4.natvis over then i do a re-build in VS and this is the errors i get

Just to mention that I meeting a similar error about the “atls.lib” file missing. I can’t compile my project (which was created with the new beta).
Hi all, ScottS looked into the missing alts.lib error. Please see the following post:
https://rocket.unrealengine.com/questions/4664/cant-compile-c-missing-altslib.html
As for the missing right click menu, we’d like to check if you have a few registry keys set.
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.uproject and make sure (default) is set to Rocket.ProjectFileHKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Rocket.ProjectFile\shell\rungenproj\command and make sure (default) is set to "D:\Rocket\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RocketGenerateProjectFiles.bat" "%1"
.uproject i think i’ve set right was on default
Rocket.ProjectFile was set correctly
still no right click option so maybe i set the .uproject thing wrong.
i removed the project from the build&run in the solution explorer and now it just skips it completely and the module doesn’t get updated, i’ll give that command line a go
ok my bad got the right click working now but still can’t compile 
tried that from the other post no joy, ho well back to the migrate tool
btw the project just had the basic code created via the project manager, so not much lost, i’m more concerned that after 2 months of work people would lose access to their projects unless they hold the old beta installers. i do this as i’ve learned the hard way but some may not
Hey George,
If you haven’t already, try uninstalling Rocket then reinstalling Rocket Beta 4.
Best Regards,
Ryan
didn’t think it would do any good but i tried it no difference.
i even un-installed winrar to free up some room on the right click menu still nothing.
i’ll be honest with you guys this is starting to annoy me big time, with every new build i have problems just accessing my projects due to this problem with the code
