When creating C++ Unreal Engine 5.2 project, it fails with this error and I can’t create the project: ```auto Running E:/UE_5.2/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Build.bat -projectfiles -project="C:/Users/Raphael/Documents/Unreal Projects/MyProject/MyProject.uproject" -game -rocket -progress Using bundled DotNet SDK version: 6.0.302 Running UnrealBuildTool: dotnet "..\..\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\UnrealBuildTool\UnrealBuildTool.dll" -projectfiles -project="C:/Users/Raphael/Documents/Unreal Projects/MyProject/MyProject.uproject" -game -rocket -progress Log file: C:\Users\Raphael\AppData\Local\UnrealBuildTool\Log_GPF.txt Some Platforms were skipped due to invalid SDK setup: IOS, Android, Linux, LinuxArm64.

hi @rafoudiablol , The problem is in the 5.2 source code . The error has been fixed in MY Repository, but obviously this requires building 5.2 source which may not be what you want. Anyway the patch is here [UnrealEngine-5/MicrosoftPlatformSDK.Versions.cs at Luoshuangs-GPULightmass-5.1.1-vs2022 · jimshalo10/UnrealEngine-5 · GitHub](https://github.com/jimshalo10/UnrealEngine-5/blob/Luoshuangs-GPULightmass-5.1.1-vs2022/Engine/Source/Programs/UnrealBuildTool/Platform/Windows/MicrosoftPlatformSDK.Versions.cs) ---

@Jimbohalo10 Thanks you, but I tried to install 5.1 and I got the exact same error. ---

Hi @rafoudiablol, I have found that the new version of VS2022 uses an MSVC 14.37.32705 which is newer than the original 14.36.\* Therefore you will need to update your archive repository using the command “git pull” and in VS2022 Build UE5 as described in [README.md at Luoshuangs-GPULightmass-5.1.1-vs2022 · jimshalo10/UnrealEngine-5](https://github.com/jimshalo10/UnrealEngine-5/blob/Luoshuangs-GPULightmass-5.1.1-vs2022/README.md) The binary 5.1.1 cannot be updated ---

Does anyone have the answer, ue5-release still has this issue, and none of the fixes provided worked, actually when comparing files it seemed as if no changes were even made ---

these are the locations we need to check as per docs - `Engine/Saved/UnrealBuildTool/BuildConfiguration.xml` - `/AppData/Roaming/Unreal Engine/UnrealBuildTool/BuildConfiguration.xml` - `My Documents/Unreal Engine/UnrealBuildTool/BuildConfiguration.xml` - `/Saved/UnrealBuildTool/BuildConfiguration.xml` **And also check** - `/Config/DefaultEditor.ini` - `/Config/DefaultEditorSettings.ini` - - `[/Script/SourceCodeAccess.SourceCodeAccessSettings] PreferredAccessor=VisualStudio2022` - `/Config/DefaultEngine.ini` - - `[/Script/WindowsTargetPlatform.WindowsTargetSettings] Compiler=VisualStudio2022`
