Packaging for UE 5.1 works fine, using the latest .NET version.
However, after trying to package a project using UE 5.03, received a “Missing SDK” notification, which after investigating, requires .NET Core 3.1 to be installed, a version that is marked as “Out of Support” from Visual Studio.
Both .NET 6 and 7 are installed, yet for UE 5.03, it prompted that not SDK was found, are there not backwards compatible?
Installing .NET 3.1 helped to solve my problem.
I’m on Win11 with UE 5.0.3, MSVS 2022. I was unable to create a new game from epic launcher because I have .NET 6 only.
