I had to reinstall windows, and after copying my old project, it will not longer compile.
It’s an unreal 5.3.2 project and I’m using VS2022.
I’ve since made new c++ projects and they compile fine, so I’m pretty sure I have VS setup correctly.
I’ve trying deleting all the intermediate files and regenerating the visual studio project files by right clicking on the project icon.
I’m getting hit with basic problems like:
|Error (active)|E1696|cannot open source file CoreMinimal.h
on this line of code:
include “CoreMinimal.h”
So it seems like it just doesn’t know where all the 5.3 source files are located. Right now, I’m going through the project settings, but VS doesn’t like this very much, it’s constantly freezing.
I feel like I could be at this for weeks, comparing settings in various sub menus, with no real idea what is going on.
Is there some standard way to setup unreal projects again, after you’ve moved some files around?
