I am attempting to install Houdini Niagara version 2 through the methods shown on the site. I installed the “Houdini Niagara Plugin - UE4.25.3” release on GitHub and replaced my old HoudiniNiagara folder in Engine\Plugins\FX with the one from GitHub as the video shows. I then choose to load that v2 plugin in UE (4.25.3), however I get the following error.

The following modules are missing or built from a different engine version:
HoudiniNiagara
HoudiniNiagaraEditor
Engine modules cannot be compiled at runtime. Please build through your IDE.

They should work since I am running 4.25.3, right? Is there any issue that could be causing this?
Thank you in advance.

Were you able to get this working? I have UE 4.25.4 and the Houdini Niagara 4.25.3 plugin installed and didn't have any problems.

The latest Houdini Niagara Plugin release isn't compiled for 4.26 so it won't work with 4.26.

here is the fix: replace the plugin as described in the github repo with the already existing houdininiagara folder.
then launch a new unreal project with c++
create a new blank c++ file in your content folder (or somewhere in you project directory - with the unreal engine)

-> now the code gets compiled

activate the plugin

restart unreal

-> working

at least on my machine
also working with mac
