Can't package the project in UE5 in Shipping.

I’ve been following this topic in a while and I was stuck in this bug too, but I fixed now and I will tell you how I did it. It’s very simple, first you have to understand what happened to cause this issue. It’s a Visual Studio issue, so follow the steps below:

  • Uninstall Visual Studio 2022 completely or Format the computer.
  • After a fresh install or uninstalled completely reinstall unreal engine 5 and configure it like you want and try to Package, the “missing SDK message will appear” ok. So here we go:

Now it’s very important that you follow these steps from this youtube video:

After doing that you’ll realize that the packaging have an error after doing this:
[1/5] Resource Default.rc2

Then you just have to follow this solution below:

  • The problem is not caused by Visual Studio but by the toolchain so you don’t have to roll back or install a previous version. I’m using the latest (at the time of this post) but not the latest toolchain.

  • To fix the issue you only have to install v14.36-17.6 toolchain and regenerate your sln.
    NOTE: The latest toolchain is also installed and DO NOT remove it.

Resuming: Modifying Visual Studio select Individual Components and install: MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (v14.36-17.6) and make sure that the current MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools (Latest) is also installed.

And you’re good to go, no more issues.

I hope it helps.
