Plugin Installation
Install Windows Native Toolkit from GitHub or Fab and enable it in Unreal Engine 5.4 through 5.7.
Before You Start
Windows Native Toolkit is a code plugin. Install it in the project that needs the nodes, then restart Unreal Engine after enabling it.
Supported Unreal Versions
| Unreal Engine | Status |
|---|---|
| 5.4 | Supported |
| 5.5 | Supported |
| 5.6 | Supported |
| 5.7 | Supported |
The plugin is Windows-native. Win64 is the primary runtime target. macOS and Linux developers can compile the project because Windows API code is guarded, but native feature nodes return fallback values outside Windows.
