time it loads everything but gives me 3 errors,
-First one is: "Failed to generate project model definition files for 'Configuration: Development Editor, Platform: Win64"
-Second one is: "There are packages with vulnerabilities installed in this solution"
-Third one is the one am trying to fix and i think that the previous 2 errors are related to this one is Failed to build RiderLink plugin for C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.4.

Failed to build RiderLink plugin
I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU CAN GIVE ME THE SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM I TRIED EVERYTHING I CAN DO FROM VERIFYING THE UE5 ENGINE IN EPIC GAMES, CHECKING FOR THE VISUAL STUDIO THINGS IF DOWNLOAD CORRECTLY AND EVEN REINSTALLING RIDER.
