Quixel Bridge doesn't show up in 'Vault' when reinstalling
Answered
I've never started a thread before but I couldn't find the resolution on Google so I'm desperate for a solution.
While working on a practice environment I realized that imported textures from the Bridge were always broken and I figured I needed to reinstall quixel bridge, so I removed it from my plugins and went to reinstall to my Unreal Engine 5 version launcher but as shown in my screenshot, Bridge doesn't show up anywhere when I search for it. I reinstalled the epic games launcher with no luck. My entire workflow has come to stop because I haven't been able to find a solution related to this. Any help would be incredibly appreciated

Hi,
Thanks for posting! Please try the below:
Run the Epic Games Launcher and navigate to the Library tab.
Click on the drop down menu on UE5 and select Set Current.
Now, UE5 will be highlighted and selected as the "current" engine.
Next, scroll down to the Vault and attempt to install the Bridge Plugin again.
Once completed, Launch UE5 and open up a project. The Quixel Bridge Tab should be visible to you in the Content drop down menu.
If you're still facing issues, please let us know. -
I just tried what Fennox did, but it still isn't working, and I'm getting a new pop-up.

Hi BobnJoe, UnrealTester234, if you're still facing the issue, please follow the below:
1. Close Unreal Engine, if already running. (You can not install/update the plugin if the Engine is running in the background).
2. Log out from Epic Games launcher.
2. Run Epic Games Launcher, go to the Unreal Engine Library and search for the plugin in the vault.
3. Click "Install to Engine". This will open up a new window and you'll get the option to install/update the plugin.
4. Once updated, launch Unreal Engine 5 and you'll now have the latest plugin incorporated. -
Sorry to hear that UnrealTester234, I'm converting this into an email so we can send you further instructions to have the Plugin appear on your end.

This workaround is for Windows OS only.
Hey BobnJoe the instructions that helped me were manually installing the plugin by extracting a folder into the plugin folder, and then starting UE5 as an administrator. Heres the link to the file that I was told to download:https://quixel.zendesk.com/attachments/token/vEMGLyNpPfAtvrA9vYbPuhYyw/?name=UE5Plugin.zip
Download it, extract it, move the "Bridge" folder, to your ../Engine/Plugins folder

Hi BobnJoe, sorry to hear that! It looks like I'm unable to attach the .zip file to this comment, so I'm emailing you instead as well.

So, I followed all the directions up until this point. I downloaded the zip provided above, and moved it into my plugins folder. Now when I open the engine from the Epic Games launcher, this pops up. I am really new to all this technology, so any and all help is greatly appreciated.

@UNREALTESTER234 thank you :) i did see it but at first the zip file wouldnt work for me because i dragged the files to /engine/plugins directly from the zip file first. when i booted up UE5 it gave me an error and the program shutdown.
when i dragged the files to the desktop first and then from the desktop to the engine/plugins folder it suddenly worked.
thanks for the files!
