Visual Studio complaints about Integration Tool, but it is installed.

[Wolfeius]

When i start VisualStudio 2022 Community Edition, (regardless if I load the solution on VS before or after Unreal Engine) I get this error:

Analyzing Blueprints - Error: Enhanced Unreal Engine support requires the free Visual Studio Integration Tool plugin.

I have followed the instructions here: Install Visual Studio Tools for Unreal Engine | Microsoft Learn

I have installed all that was required:

Including the Epic Marketplace VS Integration Tool, that is installed to the engine.

I have also installed the VSIX file on UE5.3/Extras/Engine/UnrealVS/VS2022/UnrealVS.vsix

The UnrelVS plugin is enabled, and I have the toolbar as well (I understand this plugin is not VS Integration Tool). i’m using Unreal5.3 and VS 2022 17.7.4.

Is anyone having this same problem? Is this a bug on the editor?

I already uninstalled everything and back again. Computer formated too. Reinstalled the plugins on the engine, and the UnrealVS plugin. I don’t know what else to do?

I had this issue a few weeks ago.

It turned out that the Epic Marketplace VS Integration Tool needed to be installed for UE 5.3, it was already installed for the prior versions but not 5.3.

Worth double checking that.

Hey there @Wolfeius! Welcome to the community! @penboack is right on the money! This error often stems from the actual plugin itself not being installed to the engine version of your choice. You can remedy this by opening your Epic Games Launcher, heading over to library, then scroll down to your vault, search for it here and then add it to the version of the engine you’re currently using.

If this doesn’t correct it, we may have to verify the installation of the plugin itself.

I only have, and have only installed UE5.3.1 on this fresh install of windows.

When i click on that button it says:

However, looking at the plugin it says it is compatible with engine 5.3, and not 5.3.1. I would not expect that a second level of sub versioning would make such a big difference.

I have reinstalled the plugin from the marketplace and i’m getting the same error:

Analyzing Blueprints - Error: Enhanced Unreal Engine support requires the free Visual Studio Integration Tool plugin.

Of course, UE5.3 was downloaded form Epic, there is no custom build from src, etc. All vanilla.

Thanks for your help!

I have managed to solve this, thanks to the help at https://github.com/microsoft/vc-ue-extensions/blob/main/README.md#optional-enabling-the-plugin

What is required is to go to Edit-> plugins, on Unreal Editor, an Enable the “new” plugin below:

Now the VS code says:

Command finished with exit code 0.
Analyzing Blueprints - Success.
