UE4 folder in Visual Studio missing all External Dependencies?

Development Pipeline & Plugins

I’ve got the same project I’m opening on two computers (it’s a dropbox folder). Both computers are running UE 4.17 and VS 2017 with the same set of installed components. It works perfectly on my desktop, but on my laptop I’m missing tons of dependencies and nothing builds.

The only difference I can see is that on my desktop, the External Dependencies folder contains tons of classes (https://i.imgur.com/gUxafVc.png) but on my laptop it’s totally empty (https://i.imgur.com/6IAqxgJ.png).

Does anyone know why that folder might not be getting populated and what I can do to get those classes in there?

So, on further investigation it looks like the UE4 path is hardcoded somewhere in the Visual Studio solution setup… Which is a problem because I have it on F: drive on one computer, and C: drive on the other. I’m trying to see if there’s any way to work around that.

Hi ArdentStolc
Did you ever figure out this issue as I am struggling with it as well
