Get the following error when trying to use the Web Remote plugin

LogRemoteControlWebInterface: [Pending] Launching Remote Control Web Interface - Building WebApp
LogRemoteControlWebInterface: [Pending] Launching Remote Control Web Interface - > conductor@0.3.86 build
LogRemoteControlWebInterface: [Pending] Launching Remote Control Web Interface - > node ./Scripts/build.js

LogRemoteControlWebInterface: [Pending] Launching Remote Control Web Interface - Failed to compile.

I have the correct version of Node.js installed > v14.15.5
Can anyone suggest further troubleshooting steps?

The same question, how to solve it finally

I found a solution:

Unreal seems to download it’s own nodejs version, so you will need to edit the file:
...\UE_5.2\Engine\Plugins\VirtualProduction\RemoteControlWebInterface\WebApp\Start.bat

and change the variable to the valid version
SET NodeVersion=v14.15.5

Also make sure that to delete “node_modules” and “Node-…” folders from previous failed installations in the plugin.
