"Failed to backup", how do I install manually? #137

Open benui-dev opened 2 years ago

benui-dev commented 2 years ago

When I try to force install, I get the following error

Failed to backup old RiderLink plugin
Close all running instances of Unreal Editor and try again
Path to old plugin: C:\Projects\FollowMe\Unreal\Plugins\Developer\RiderLink

I do not have Unreal running. The contents of that directory were deleted when trying to upgrade. How do I install manually?

Hi @benui-dev

The contents of that directory were deleted when trying to upgrade. That's a new one. The error states this very thing, that we failed to move this folder... Anywho, you've got 2 options:

  • There's "RiderLink.zip" folder under Rider's installation path eg E:\PROGRAMS\JetBrains\apps\Rider For Unreal Engine\ch-0\213.5857.137\plugins\UnrealLink\EditorPlugin\RiderLink.zip Simply unzip it to the %GAME%/Plugins/Developer/RiderLink folder or
  • Check if %GAME%/Plugins/Developer/RiderLink folder has write access and try "Force install in the Game" once again. Cheers!

I have just noticed that your message has been around since 12th October and this is not acceptable. I'm extremely sorry. I need to find a way to filter out everything that comes from this repo, otherwise it simply drowns in the spam :(

I had to delete the Developer/RiderLink folder, manually installing from the zip did not work. My project is backed up by Google Drive and I believe that is what caused my problem. It seems to have some write access locking that isn't fixed by just unticking "Read Only" like with Perfoce.
