Windows cannot find UEPrereqSetup_x64.exe

I’ve pulled the ue5-main branch and get the following error message:

When I check for that directory in my git folder, I don’t even see the “Redist” directory anywhere… It doesn’t seem to be on the github platform either. Any idea how to fix this problem?

Thanks

Is that error showing when you run the Setup.bat?

Yess, exactly. When i run setup.bat this problem occurs.

I just checked in the version I grabbed from github and it’s in there. I did have a few files get marked as “mark of the web” and had to unblock them - perhaps you have a virus checker or something that’s removing exe files?

Ahhh good idea. I’ll look into it

Wait… it isn’t even in the git repo on the website…

It’s the “\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\GitDependencies.exe” that downloads it I think - perhaps that’s failing?

Ahh i just tried to forcibly close git because i think there was a memory leak and even though it said it was synced things were incomplete. So restarted my PC to ensure any git processes totally stopped. Then pulled again, then setup.bat works fine.

Im having this problem too, I dont see the redist directory or any of its contents on github. Which version did you use?

I think the biggest issue was that some files were getting marked as viruses - if you open the Folder Properties on the source folder it should tell you if there are any files marked as dodgy, also resetting GIT and your PC may help - otherwise there’s also the option of downloading the source as a zip file.
