ERROR: Visual Studio 2017 must be installed in order to build this target.

Billy_dev · December 10, 2020, 7:27pm

Hi,
I try to package a plugin but I get the “ERROR: Visual Studio 2017 must be installed in order to build this target.” even if I have visual studio 2019 installed.
I don’t understand why I keep getting this error.

this is the log

I am still stuck.
I can package the project for win64 but I can’t package the plugin.

I tried different things nothing worked :
1- create a new empty project with an empty plugin.
2- specify visual studio 2019 in editor preferences -> source code.
3- add WindowsPlatform.Compiler = WindowsCompiler.VisualStudio2019; to plugin_Creator.Target.cs
4- install msvc build tools for arm, arm64, and x86/ x64.
5- setup android studio and download ndk r21
6- set ndk and android paths in PATH.
7- Modify buildConfiguration.xml :


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Configuration xmlns="https://www.unrealengine.com/BuildConfiguration">
<WindowsPlatform>
<CompilerVersion>14.26.28806</CompilerVersion>
<Compiler>VisualStudio2019</Compiler>
</WindowsPlatform>
<VCProjectFileGenerator>
<Version>VisualStudio2019</Version>
</VCProjectFileGenerator>
</Configuration>

but I still get this error. Here is the Log.
Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this error?
Thank you.

Hi there,

I got the same issue here. I can’t figure it out.
Have you managed to solve it?

Thanks by advance.

PraxinosCoop · April 30, 2021, 10:57am

Hello guys, I notice your issues seems to be related to ULIS3, which is library coded by Praxinos team for the plugin ILIAD.

Did you figure it out how to fix it ?

CoolNamesGone · May 14, 2021, 5:02pm

I’m not using the ILIAD plugin, but I’m getting the same error about not having Visual Studio 2017 installed.

anonymous_user_8c73eebf · May 20, 2021, 10:49pm

There are settings in Engine\Build\InstalledEngineBuild.xml on line 79.
it is set for Vs2017 changing DefaultValue to true enables vs2019.

Have fixed some errors in my builds.

No file Engine\Build\InstalledEngineBuild.xml was found …

Same here, “UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): ERROR: Visual Studio 2022 x64 must be installed in order to build this target.” I , today, installed visual studio 2022, 64bit, and verified via task manager column.

Now what ?
I set visual studio 2022 in editor preferences, under source code.

RollinFields · July 9, 2022, 12:56pm

You can also set:
Edit → Project Settings → Platforms → Windows → Visual Studio 2022
but that doesn’t fix the problem.
