When creating a C++ project in Unreal Engine 5.6.1 the error : Missing Project_Name Modules

Development Programming & Scripting
, , ,
1

Hello

Please help me.

I have Unreal Engine 5.6.1 installed correctly from the Epic Games Launcher, and I also have Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14.21 installed correctly as per the official website. Here’s the link:

When trying to create a third-person game project in C++ in the Unreal Engine .

An error message appears as follows:

Text:

Missing five Modules

The following modules are missing or built with a different engine version:

five

Would you like to rebuild them now?

Yes

No

When I click Yes, the following message appears:

Error

One could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually.

OK

Here are screenshots of the previous errors:

I found some solutions on various websites, but none of the most popular ones worked: right-clicking and selecting “generate visual studio project files…” didn’t change anything.

Note that when creating the project, “five.sln” wasn’t created, nor was the “Binaries” folder, as shown in the following image:

Even when applying the previous solution, right-clicking and selecting “generate visual studio project files…” it doesn’t add or create any files or folders; they remain as they are.

Here are screenshots of the Source folder:

When you right click on the .uproject file and choose open in notepad (any text editor) what do you see?

It should have something like this

If your Module (Five) is not here then this would be the problem, Also make sure that its using the correct engine version.

Hello there!

I think the main problem here is the engine not being able to read key components:

LogDesktopPlatform: Warning: Unable to read target info for D:/five/five.uproject
LogInit: Warning: Incompatible or missing module: five

This suggest missing permission for but UE and VS. So, I would start by running everything as an admin, and ensuring that both your project, and the components in use, are all located in folders that be written on. For example, I would suggest against having your project in D: root.

Next, I would double check that all addons for VS setup are installed and using the correct versions, specially on this section (most of these conflicts are due one of them being missing:

After that, clear your project’s cache, via going to its main directory, and deleting folders Intermediate, Binaries, .vs, and the five.sln file. Then, right click your .uproject file, and pick “Generate Visual Studio project files”. This should re-create the missing modules, as long as the tools are able to write in the target location.
