I have stumbled for weeks on the dedicated server and I got frustrated when I didn’t have the configuration settings “Development Server” “Development Client” “Shipping Server” and so on. So I manually made new configuration settings but when ever I used them they gave me (literally)hundreds of errors about not able to find specific path. So I looked on different forums and found out that they solved it by switching the version to the source. I did that then gave me the error “Missing C:/Users/tjsun/Documents/Unreal Projects/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool.exe after build”. I check the path it gave me to find out that there was no “UnrealBuildTool.exe” I checked the GitHub to get just the “UnrealBuildTool.exe” but I searched the file and it wasn’t there, but switching to 4.16 still works. Is there another way to get the configurations? If anyone could help me I would greatly appreciate it. ---

That makes no Sense. You can Switch to source any time, it will update your Solution file and at that point you are on Source. Follow the Guide and you will be allright. Dont forget to Build your Engine Source and runt the Commands in the Source folder (also described in the guide aswell as on the git repo). From the Screenshots you Posted I can Tell you did not Build the Engine at all. ![](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/7/1/7/717debd1f02cb02b02653b7efcf8b6e48bd7bae8.png) ---

So why don´t you tell us this in the first place 😜 my Profile Picture is a Chibi Version of Ichigo from the Anime Bleach. The error basicly means you didn´t install whats needed on your Windows machine. if you google up csc.exe error you will see it has something todo with .NET make sure you have it correctly installed with VS or by Hand. Also make sure you run Setup.bat and everything in general with Admin rights.

.net is a framework yours seems to be messed up or not correctly installed. I don´t know why you get the csc.exe error but there are many People out there that experience this and have different Solutions. You got to look it up on the internet and see what fixes it for you.
