Why isn't there a right click option to generate VS files?

ok i don’t have the right click option to generate VS files

i’ve ran the “RegisterShellCommands.bat” as admin
the window says it’s done it.

i had vs2012 express installed when i first installed UE4, i then upgraded to VS2013 and win7 sp1

has any one any idea’s tips on how to get the right click option to generate this files.

That is now managed by new version selection system, from github:

One last thing. You’ll want to setup
your Windows shell so that you can
interact with .uproject files. Find
the file named
UnrealVersionSelector-Win64-Shippping.exe
in the
UnrealEngine/Engine/Binaries/Win64/
folder and run it. Now, you’ll be able
to double-click .uproject files to
load the project, or right click them
to quickly update Visual Studio files.

tried the one from the “Unreal Engine\Launcher\Engine\Binaries\Win64” with no effect.

will check the github version once i get it all dl’d

please in future use the “add new comment” option till your answer is approved to work, as this will save the staff/moderators time editing posts and treads

Huh? I posted my answer and you and other users are who judge it not only staff and moderators. Comment is to comment your quastion, but i don’t have comment for your question… but answer which can be wrong or not and you are other users are one that decides that. When it is approved by you that it works you accept answer and it becomes green and marked as resolved. Thats what this this system been made for, thats how Yahoo Anwsers works and thats how Stack Overflow works (which tactfully use same script).

Also you not the first asking this question and i post same answer to those and been approved:

You didn’t point out that you tried that already, something that actually should work as i did that myself and it worked and it’s said on github to do so, so real issue is that method i posted didn’t work.

ok don’t take it the wrong way but as i said it’s easier for “US” to convert a comment to an answer than it is to convert an answer that doesn’t work.

now to the problem, i’ve downloaded the github version unpacked and compiled.
i’ve run the UnrealVersionSelector-Win64-Shipping.exe as admin and it still doesn’t give me the right click option to generate the vs files

problem not resolved !!!

If it does not work then you leave it be people cam down vote it if it’s really bad, comment if something does not work as we do it now :stuck_out_tongue:

But wait you saying you have that bat :> do you use 4.0 or 4.1? Also as both does not work it means something prevents both to edit your system registry, or what you using for file management overrides the system registry.

so whats the answer, the only option is to build and run a separate bat file or command line for each and every project i create or download.

i’ve used 4.0 and 4.1 both report success but achieve nothing

Well other solution is to edit file associacion manually, here software for that

Command for project generation look like this:
“X:\Unreal\Engine\Binaries\Win64\UnrealVersionSelector.exe” /projectfiles “%1”
If this won’t work either it means there problem in your system

nice little app there i’m sure it will help somewhere.

i run the “UnrealVersionSelector-Win64-Shipping.exe” as admin it says its successful but no change to the right click menu, any tips on editing the right click menu

Try add it manually as i said i gave you the command to generate project file

Hi Geodav,

We haven’t heard back from you in a few days, so we are marking this post as Resolved for tracking purposes. If you are still experiencing the issue you reported, please respond to this message with additional information and we will offer further assistance.

Thank, TJ

the issue remains, with the tool that linked i’m able to add the line but afaik atm it doesn’t create/generate the files but will update if you have all ready generated the files and then added more files from an external source

so basically i have to add a file from the editor then i can update via that cmd line, though i’ve no idea what other options should be avaiable
