Can't install - couldn't find Unreal Engine root #131

I'm using UE5 with Rider for Unreal Engine 2021.1.2 , and I keep getting this error couldn't find Unreal Engine root when trying to install. Specifically:

Failed to build RiderLink plugin for C:\dev\games\MyProj\Game\MyProj.uproject
Couldn't find Unreal Engine root for C:\dev\games\MyProj\Game\MyProj.uproject
Failed to build RiderLink plugin

I tried to look at the source code and found this: CppUE4FolderFinder.FindUnrealEngineRoot(uprojectFilePath);

but I can't find the actual source code of it so I can't actually check where it's looking for.
