UE5 Rider | Problem building project
I have an issue compiling. I've tried everything that I can think of including uninstalling and reinstalling including C++ sdks etc.
It seems that VCTargetsPath isn't set. Not sure where or how it should be.
11>UECommon.props(15,3): Error MSB4019 : The imported project "C:\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" was not found. Confirm that the expression in the Import declaration "\Microsoft.Cpp.Default.props" is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

Hi Phillip,
I'm facing the same issue right now. Yesterday, when I shut down my machine, it was working fine. Since a lot of VS stuff is required even though Rider is the IDE of choice, I tried to build the game in VS….Successful! From Visual Studio, I cannot launch the UE Editor though. So there's something clearly wrong here as well.
I tried updating VS to the latest release, but that didn't help.
Back in Rider: When checking the paths, I noticed that there were quite some pointing nowhere, like this one:
There is no VC folder in `[…]\Microsoft`
I have no idea what caused this, but when checking my windows update history, I found that KB5035942 has been installed today. Maybe this is related to the removal of specific VC compiler versions?
UPDATE 1 (VS):
This VS-UE integration status check indicated that there were things missing.
Specifically, it was the WIN 11 SDK (10.0.26100.0), I guess…
This installation did not have any effect on the Rider Issue, but at least I can work on my game while this is being solved (hopefully)
UPDATE 2 (Rider):
I still refuse to understand why this is failing to build all of a sudden, but the error messages are related to the C++ compiler in use.
So I tried to change my IDE settings → Build, Execution, Deployment → Toolset and Build → MSBuild Version.
I chose the one from VS 2022, which I know works.
No more errors (at least none related to this issue):
Sebastian Edelmeier Thanks so much for coming back with your updates. Changing the MSBuilder version from that dropdown solved it for me too! I appreciate it, shewy now I can go back to using Rider. I was using VisualStudio with an add-on and it's just not the same.
