Wwise and UE4 not working with C++ projects

Question

Hi,

 

I am trying to create a new UE4 project using UE 4.26.2. I can create one without any issues if I select it as a Blueprint project. However, if I then add C++ code, or if I try to create a new C++ project, I get the following error:

 

Running C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_4.26/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool.exe Development Win64 -Project="C:/Users/manta/Unreal Projects/Test_03/Test_03.uproject" -TargetType=Editor -Progress -NoEngineChanges -NoHotReloadFromIDE
Creating makefile for Test_03Editor (no existing makefile)
ERROR: Unable to instantiate module 'AkAudio': System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.26\Engine\Plugins\Wwise\ThirdParty\x64_vc160\Profile\bin'.

       (referenced via default plugins -> Wwise.uplugin)

 

I have followed the instructions on the plugin installation, double, and tripple checked, but I still get this error ONLY when trying to make a C++ project. Again, Everything works fine if I create a Blueprint project. It only breaks when trying to ad C++.

 

Thanks,

Brennan

I was running into a similar issue -- the problem for me was that I'd copied the entire SDK directory to ...\Plugins\Wwise\ThirdParty\, as opposed to copying the subdirectories individually (i.e. ..\Plugins\Wwise\ThirdParty\x64_vc160 for instance). Can you check to make sure that your ThirdParty folder contains all the folders listed in step 6 of https://www.audiokinetic.com/library/edge/?source=UE4&id=installation.html?

Additionally, I also had to make the adjustment to AkLateReverbComponent.h mentioned here https://www.audiokinetic.com/qa/5834/ue4-engine-plugin-for-sdk-version-2019-6947-1305-fails-compile?show=8709#a8709 in order to get the C++ project to compile successfully.

Hope this is helpful!

That seems to be what the problem was! Thank you.
