Hi. I follow this guide (Unreal Engine 5 Migration Guide | Unreal Engine Documentation) but can’t find this tool in my solution hierarchy. I’m trying to migrate project from early acces version to new official release. Any ideas?

- The launcher version engine seems does not include UnrealObjectPtrTool.exe, at least in my case.
- I could find and compile it from the source version of the engine.
- But after running the tool, I can see only the message below, and does not change anything.
C:\Work\GitHubDesktop\UE5\Engine\Binaries\Win64>UnrealObjectPtrTool.exe C:/Users/MyName/AppData/Local/UnrealBuildTool/Log_UHT.txt -SCCCommand="p4 edit -c UPGRADE_CL {filenames}"
LogUnrealObjectPtrTool: Display: Upgraded successfully. 0 upgrades found; 0 upgrades performed
What am I missing?

What I did:
- Change
Engine\Programs\UnrealHeaderTool\Config\DefaultEngine.inito:
NonEngineNativePointerMemberBehavior=AllowAndLog
- Open Unreal Editor ( or rebuild and run if you are using source )
- Unreal Editor > Refresh C++ Project
- Unreal Editor > Compile C++
- Check
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\UnrealBuildTool\Log_UHT.txtfor:
[2022.05.31-22.32.47:862][ 0]LogCompile: D:/MyGame/Source/MyGame/Public/MyPlayer.h(54): Native pointer usage in member declaration detected [[[UPaperFlipbook*]]]. Consider TObjectPtr as an alternative.
It’s probably what’s missing from the log file.

If anyone else is having this error when trying to use UnrealObjectPtrTool.exe:
[2022.06.01-02.56.58:635][ 0]LogWindows: Warning: CreateProc failed: The system cannot find the file specified. (0x00000002)
I created a project on GitHub as an alternative, it looks like the Unreal Engine version uses Perforce ( p4 command ).
It could also be a problem that I’m not using the c: drive.
I hope it helps!

To get the missing exe, just build:
\Engine\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\UnrealObjectPtrTool.vcxproj
