Having an issue. Trying to do a C++ project in UE5, but when I try to make the project it says I need Visual Studio. I changed the preferences to use VS Code. Anyone know why it is still telling me that?
Hi JB,
I’ve only ever used Visual Studio Community versions. I did just find some docs for how to set up VS Code though. (This is probably what you mean by ‘changed the preferences’)
By ‘make the project’ you mean running GenerateProjectFiles.bat? (I wonder if anything would need to be manually edited in the .bat to point to VS Code install…)
Hey @jb.krono87!
To add on a bit more, have you followed the steps for VS code outlined in the Unreal docs AFTER creating you c++ product including altering any code inside of Visual studio code?
Any additional specifics or info you can provide may go a long way in solving your problem!
