I installed the preffered compiler, and it still gave me the same warning message. My project is blueprint based,

Hi, I believe the issue might be related to the following line: “UATHelper: Packaging (Windows): Visual Studio 2022 compiler version 14.42.34436 is not a preferred version. Please use the latest preferred version 14.38.33130”

Try changing this version in the modify tab of VS Installer. Type 14.42 in search, uncheck, and then type 14.38, checking the same installed modules. I do might have more modules installed, however i was struggling with this packaging issue myself and tried a lot of things :smiley:
