Hi, firstly thank you for providing this code. I'm looking forward to using it to prototype my game idea.

Following the instructions to install the plugin into unreal, version 4.23, the PluginInstaller is unable to locate MsBuild. Debugging and recompiling revealed that there appears to be no code for Professional editions of the software.

To work around the issue I have hardcoded the msbuildpath at my local version of msbuild and recompiled the PluginInstaller. For me located here;

private static string msbuildPath = "C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Professional/MSBuild/Current/Bin/MSBuild.exe";

...to find where it is installed on your machine boot the VisualStudio enabled version of command prompt, something like 'x86 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019' and then type 'where msbuild'

Cheers
