After enabling vs studio integration in a project this error shows when live coding: Expecting to find a type to be declared in a module rules named ‘VisualStudioTools’ in ‘UE5Rules, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’. This type must derive from the ‘ModuleRules’ type defined by UnrealBuildTool. How to fix that? ---

Hello there @black_cat! This error has been encountered in other scenarios along the community. The most viable solution in said cases has been to copy the integration plugin content into the Engine\Plugins\Marketplace folder. And in case that doesn’t work, the next step would be to remove the “VisualStudioTools” plugin from the .uproject file. Adding the other case studies below, for further checking: > [@UE5.1 Expecting to find a type to be declared in a module rules named '......'](https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/ue5-1-expecting-to-find-a-type-to-be-declared-in-a-module-rules-named/741811): > > Compilation error: Expecting to find a type to be declared in a module rules named ‘DlssUtility’ in UE5Rules, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null. This type must derive from the ‘ModuleRules’ type defined by Unreal Build Tool. Reproduce: Upgrade from Unreal Engine 4.27 to 5.1. Install NVIDIA DLSS to the engine plugins folder. I expect someone will tell me to move the plugin to the project folder and try again. That is not a fix.

Expecting to find a type to be declared in a module rules named ‘VisualStudioTools’ in ‘UE5Rules, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null’. This type must derive from the ‘ModuleRules’ type defined by UnrealBuildTool. what a BUG problem, when UE version is 5.7 ---

What got me beyond this: - Uninstall tools integration from the engine - Install tools integration to the project - Close and reopen the project; allow the plugin to get rebuilt. ---

Excuse me, but how do I go about it? Mind giving us some steps to do so? I’ve been facing this issue myself towards Unreal 5.4 projects. ![Screenshot 2026-09-16 163612](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/8/b/4/8b464cb075106af249479401bf8f61f6d2583458.png)
