I just downloaded UE5.5, and it will not create a new project, and gives me the following errors (the project name is “TestProject”:

The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version:

TestProject

Would you like to rebuild them now?

TestProject could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.

1 ) go to folder : D:/GameDev/UnrealEngine5/TestProject/
2 ) open a terminal
3) run this :
“C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.5/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Build.bat” -Target=“TestProjectEditor Win64 Development” -Project=“D:/GameDev/UnrealEngine5/TestProject/TestProject.uproject” -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild -architecture=x64

Thanks, still not working for me. The Visual Studio Installer is vague about which version will be installed, it just says 14.38-17.8. Any tips how to figure out what version number I should put in the buildConfiguration?

Frustrating that Unreal Engine doesn’t seem to work with C++ out of the box :frowning:
