Hey guys, I’m having trouble building UE5 from source. I know there are many discussions around this, but I have checked Google and the forum for these errors and for some reason cannot build UE5 from source.

I’m using windows and have ensured that my Windows SDK and MSVC tools are correct. I updated the BuildConfiiguration.xml to specifiy 14.38. I still cannot build UE5 all the way - when the build is finished UnrealEditor does not show up. Has anyone

have you checked your antivirus?
avast has quarantined UnrealEditor UnrealEditor-cmd and others for me.

Ah, that’s a good tip. I only have Windows Defender so I added the UnrealEngine folder to the exclusions. It’s building now and I really hope that works.
