I have visual Studio 2019 and 2022 installed and when I hit build inside on Visual Studio all compiles just fine.
When I hit Compile inside UE4.27 all compiles just fine.
When I open up my Plugins window, go to my plugin and hit Package it builds for a while then it hits UnrealBuildTool and demands I have visual Studio 2017 installed in order to build.
if I take that command as is, paste it on the command line and change the param from -2017 to -2019 or -2011 then the build completes just fine on the command line but that is of no help at all because I don’t know what other steps the Package command was going to run after that step so I can’t manually do what UE4 was going to do.
Do I REALLY need to have 3 versions of VS installed in order for UE4 to compile code that it already verified is correct? Where can I find this command and tell it to use a different param at this point?
How do I get past this issue?
