Hello,
I followed the steps below, but I’m running into an error that’s beyond my expertise. Can you help me?
1- Backup your whole project folder.
2- Run the UE editor (the new version you upgraded to 5.7 in this case).
3- From there, pick the project you are trying to upgrade and click open.
4- You will get a message about the version and an option to “open copy”, select the “open copy” option.
5- The editor will create a copy of the project but it will not compile and it will ask you if you want to open the project in VS, open it.
6- To be able to compile you need to edit 2 files “ProjectName.Target.cs” AND “ProjectNameEditor.Target.cs” by replacing those 2 lines (basically just the numbers from 5 to 6 and from 5_6 to 5_7 ).
DefaultBuildSettings = BuildSettingsVersion.V6;
IncludeOrderVersion = EngineIncludeOrderVersion.Unreal5_7;
*Save and try to build, if you get any errors, delete the Saved , Binaries, Intermediate and DerivedDataCache folders and try again, it should build just fine

Here is the error with the link:
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Best regards
Hervé
