I'm trying to run the just released UnrealEngine 5.0 with latest HoudiniEngine plugin, which comes as a prebuilt plugin in Houdini 19.0.581. Creating a new UE5 blueprint project works fine, but when I'm creating a C++ UE5 project the process fails with this error message:

The same error is present in my existing UE5 C++ projects when I try to compile them from the IDE while the HoudiniPlugin is added to the UE5 engine. Removing HoudiniEngine from

1. Install UE5 2. Install Houdini 19.0.581 3. Copy C:\Program Files\Side Effects Software\Houdini Engine\Unreal\19.0.498\5.0\HoudiniEngine to C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.0\Engine\Plugins\Runtime\HoudiniEngine 4. Launch UE5 and create a new C++ project
This is a commmon issue with any plugin you install it into the engine plugin directory, all you just need to do is open ur HoudiniEngine.uplugin file and change this property "EnabledByDefault" : false and save it
