ArcGIS SDK 1.20 for Unreal Engine 5.1.x Launch/Build failures...

Question

Hello ESRI team!

I am trying to use the ArcGIS SDK v1.20 with Unreal Engine 5.1.1. I cannot get this to work. Every launch, I am greeted with the dialogue box bellow. The SDK works fine with Unreal Engine 5.0.x, however.

I have followed the steps in this thread: THREAD . There are build errors and I have no idea how to troubleshoot. Below is another screen capture and log.

I have tried re-installing UE 5.1.1 and VS/dotnet components. It would be great to have ArcGIS working with my current blueprint project. This is so frustrating. Any updates on a fix for this? Possible a version 1.30 soon?

Think I figured it out! Downloaded Visual Studio 2022 instead of 2019 and built the plugin. Now it works no matter which plugins folder the SDK is put in. Sorry if this was stated somewhere, but maybe this will help someone else out. Thanks for your times. I'll update here if anything breaks again.

The location looks correct for Engine plugins. But because the plugin is built for 5.0 and you are trying it on 5.1, there may be some incompatibility. Can you try installing it in `F:\Temp UE Project\ArcGIS_5_1_TEST_CPP\Plugins` (assuming that's your project path based on your logs)?

I have tried installing it to C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.1\Engine\Plugins and C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.1\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace. Is this the wrong location? This is where I installed it in UE 5.0.x when it was working.
