Hi All,
I am working with:

Version: 5.5.4-40574608+++UE5+Release-5.5
Platform: Windows 11 (24H2) [10.0.26100.3476] (x86_64)

and Visual Studio Code:
Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 (64-bit) - Current
Version 17.13.4

but also with a clean project, Visual Studio Code is not able to find dependencies like:

this is the integration configuration:

how to avoid this issue in visual studio?

thanks

Hey @Chaosnove1!

I wanna start with a clarification.

VS Code is not Visual Studio. You’re currently using Visual Studio, not VS Code.

As for your issue:

  • Check if Visual Studio 2022 is set as the default IDE from Edit > Editor Preferences > General > Source Code in the editor

  • Check if the Visual Studio Integration Tools plugin is enabled from Edit > Plugins

  • Check if you have the .NET Desktop Development, Desktop Development with C++, and Game Development with C++ workloads (also the Universal Windows Platform Development workload for older VS 2022 versions than the OP’s) by either navigating to Tools > Get Tools and Features inside VS (The modification window will pop up automatically), or by hitting the Modify option on your VS version inside the installer.

Hope these help :innocent:

Oh one more thing, I invite you to the dark side :smiling_face_with_horns:
Change your theme to a dark one :star_struck:

I had the same issue after updating to 17.13.5 after using vs2022 17.10.3. I have now resolved it by downgrading the version.

I found that other people had similar issues with vs integration tool compatibility issues on the forum.

Anyway, I resolved it as follows:

  1. Downgrade vs2022 version
  2. Disable vs integration tool
  3. Enable only VS Integration in plugins

I hope your issue has been resolved.

So I’ve Been struggling with getting visual studio community 2022 to work with unreal engine 5.6 and then I realized there is a option that you have to click that is missing from the documentation “setting up visual studios for unreal engine 5”. In that documentation there is a screenshot showing four options you can select .net multiplatform, .net desktop, and desktop with C++ there is a fourth option called WinUI application development. unreal engine C++ only works for me if that selected even though in the screenshot it shows up as not selected.
