Missing Target File

The UnrealEditor.targe file does not exist. Would you like to build the editor?

When i am trying to open my project this happens, and this breaking my version control on github and project build i suppose.

As you can see i have exact files at right direction

Things i tried,

  1. I deleted file the BuildConfiguration.xml from
    C:\Users.…\AppData\Roaming\Unreal Engine\UnrealBuildTool

  2. Tried to go backup from github doesn’t make difference

  3. I clicked “fix redirectors” on parent content folder

  4. Tried to delete Config,Intermediate and Saved folders from project folder

Any help appreciated, thanks

Delete Game exe,
Copy any exe from any other game you were working on
paste in game folder and rename
clear intermediate folder.

It worked for me.

Thank you so much, in my case Intermediate wasn’t enough

I deleted,

Intermediate
Source
Saved
Config
Derived Data Cache

and pasted new .exe

This fixes the problem but, some of settings gone. Like plugins, favourite folders, colors, even some data
