Riderlink cannot be installed into 5.3 UE project

[astradamus]

This is super barebones and easy to reproduce:

1) Create new FPS template, C++ project in UE 5.3 2) Open the project in rider. 3) When prompted by Rider to add Riderlink, select Add to Editor. 4) Process begins, gets almost to 79/79, then fails at the very end. Every time no matter what I do.

As you can see there's pretty much no room for me to configure or do anything differently here. I'm guessing that Riderlink simply isn't updated for 5.3 yet, which is only a week old from what I can tell.

Here is what it says at the end of the build script terminal output:

BUILD FAILED
Failed to build RiderLink plugin for G:\UE_5.3
Failed to build RiderLink plugin

Just above that it gives a path to a log file. The log file is attached in full below, but I scanned it for pertinent details and I think this is the key error:

C:\Users\neuro\AppData\Local\Temp\UnrealLink\Coqelaz\HostProject\Plugins\RiderLink\Source\RiderGameControl\Private\RiderGameControl.cpp(20): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'UnrealEd/Public/Editor.h': No such file or directory

However, that file DOES seem to exist. I can locate it in rider, it is in "G:\UE_5.3\Engine\Source\Editor\UnrealEd\Public\Editor.h"

Any ideas?

To clarify I have tried everything short of using a different editor version. Reboots, reinstalls, nothing seems to solve this problem.

EDIT: Same thing happens if you do "Install Plugin in Game" instead of "Install Plugin in Engine". Hadn't occurred to me to try that before because I misunderstood what it was, but it's the same error.

I neglected to mention Rider version. There's some other info in here too, maybe it's useful 🤷‍♂️
