How to fix: UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): ERROR: Visual Studio 2022 x64 must be installed in order to build this target

[Ibrahimrefai]

i was trying to package my game and got this error message in the log:
(path).uproject does not look like uproject file but no targets have been found!

then i did some research and i found out that i have to install visual studio and i installed it but now i get this error:
UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): ERROR: Visual Studio 2022 x64 must be installed in order to build this target.

and what is funny that at beginning of the log the message popped up (before the error message):
Found Visual Studio installation: D:\visual studio\install (Product=Microsoft.VisualStudio.Product.Community, Version=17.3.32804.467)

can anyone help me out and if you can’t press up vote(idk if got that one right but you got the idea)

Hey @Ibrahimrefai! Welcome to the community!

First and foremost, would you mind sharing the entirety of your error log? This will go a long way in making sure we can see the root of your problem. Also, I would make sure you have editor symbols for debugging installed in your project to ensure accurate logs as well.

When it comes to your current issue, I would double check and make sure that your installation of VS2022 was done correctly. Did you follow this guide while installing VS2022? (generally the same except you are using VS2022)

Setting Up Visual Studio

Any additional information you can provide will be a big help in solving your problem!

[Ibrahimrefai]

i have followed this tutorial .uproject does not look like uproject file but no targets have been found! - YouTube

now i have installed: symbols for debugging and setup VS from the article

and now the error is gone but i cannot see any files in the directory that i have chosen and the packaging process is done in seconds

and here is the log:

Hey @Ibrahimrefai,

Your tutorial you linked seems to be missing important steps to the installation, like not adding game development with C++ to your Visual Studios installation. I highly suggest following the official documented process for setting up Visual Studio. (the one linked in the previous post)

Additionally, it looks like you have files with non ASCI characters (non english characters) which can not be read by the Engine as suggested here:

@anonymous_user_4ad5a015rahimrefai

UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): c1xx: fatal error C1083: Cannot open compiler intermediate file: ‘D:\FFOutput\games\Unreal Games\�??�??WHAT_IS_FIGHT

After using the correct installation process, the error tags should also be more accurate.

[Ibrahimrefai]

because i am bilingual and my system is set to arabic anyways the after following the documentation all the errors are gone except the last two lines:
UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): The system cannot find the path specified.
that are coming from RunUAT.bat looking for Engine/intermediate/turnkey/PostTurnkeyVariables.bat
is there any fix

those unicode characters are 5.0 in english not arabic is it safe to rename the folder name

additionally in this line:

Hey @Ibrahimrefai!

From here there are a few things you can try.

• You can try deleting your intermediate folder and trying again.
• Try going to this similar thread and following the solutions here from the Unreal forums

"The system cannot find the path specified." In Unreal Engine 5

Mine was solved about an week ago, I’ve uninstalled the MS visual studio including all of the “Windows SDK” files. Then I have installed it again (Visual Studio Enterprise 2022, version 17.2.1) with all of the sdk files including MSVC v143. Now it works fine no issues so far. Check out the images: Imgur: The magic of the Internet It seems to be reinstalling all of the MS Visual Studio stuff fixed the issue for me.

• Are you using turnkey to manage your SDKs? If so, check out the documentation to make sure everything is set up correctly:

Unreal Turnkey

I hope the above provides the solution you need!

[Ibrahimrefai]

idk i just install an sdk and that’s it and the problem is that there is no turnkey folder and idk what is turnkey anyway but after deleting the intermediate folder it got even worse
and for the forum i have seen it and tried to reinstall MS VS 2022 but nothing helped the error is still there.

now i will try and follow the documentation and give you an update.

UPDATE: in the documentation i found nothing could help and when i press the intermediate button it gives me a 404. https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.0/en-US/SiteIndex

one last question is it possible to roll back my project to ue4

Hey @Ibrahimrefai!

None of the other links concerning setting up or using Turnkey were helpful in the documentation (Setting up Turnkey for your organization, setting up google drive for Unreal Turnkey, managing platforms in Unreal Editor, using the Turnkey command line)?

It is possible to roll back your project if you were using any sort of version control. Were you using anything like that?
