**Reply by mrd7041 | 2024-01-17 09:19:05** Hello \<@465550353807441926\> Error you are getting must be due to the binaries not generating. All you need do is modify a line of code in the build.cs file in convai plugin directory. Please set the bUsePrecompiled = true. This will allow binaries to be generated for windows platform. ---
