Backstory: Had a project named MyProject5, inserted new c++ class, then I had issues with VS 2022. Could not compile, messed around trying to fix, completely bricked my project. Luckily, I had a backup + a clone copy of the project, so I was able to try again.
This time, I tried to add a new C++ Class to my blueprint project, then got the error:
"The specified module path does not exist on disk: C:Users/lewis/OneDrive/Documents/Unreal Projects/MyProject5/Source/MyProject5Copy/
I went and generated the VS 2022 files, went and hit build project, and I’m getting error MSB3073:
The command ““C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.5\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat” MyProject5Editor Win64 Development -Project=“C:\Users\lewis\OneDrive\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyProject5\MyProject5Copy.uproject” -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild -architecture=x64” exited with code 8.
The output log states:
