UE4 4.11 WWise project path pop-up

Question

Hello -

I've noticed that the new WWise plugin has this pop-up that will be shown at editor start up:

"The Wwise UE4 Integration plug-in's update process requires the Wwise Project Path to be set in the Project Settings..."

We previously did not require team members to sync the WWise project - so this warning fires for them every time they start the editor. Is there an actual dependency here? This is just for the WWise picker right? If some users aren't using that functionality, its fine to run without the WWise project on disk, correct?

Thanks!

Erik
