Exception: Could not determine engine root path

[keithoconor]

I just tried this plugin (v1.0.3, with Rider 2022.2) and got the exception below. This is with the latest launcher version of Unreal (5.0.3), installed at C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.0.

java.lang.Throwable: Could not determine engine root path.

Same here, Using a source build. Are you two also on source?

[romerogames-keith]

No, haven't tried with source yet - that was with the prebuilt version that is downloaded via the Epic Launcher.
