Installation of Dash Failed
So ideally the installer should find your UE versions automatically and install properly. But if you come to this step in the installation and it does not find your UE versions, you need to follow these steps:

1. Check the checkbox on the left side and then click the browse button on the right side of the Unreal Engine version you would like to install Dash into and navigate to where you have Unreal Engine installed, i.e. to the folder called UE_5.1 or UE_5.2 or UE_5.3
2. Select the folder and press “Select Folder”
3. Then after you see that the path to your Unreal Engine Folder is displayed properly you can press Next
If this does not work or if the installer gets stuck on the “Installing...” step. You can try the steps explained below.
1. Continue and finish the installation by clicking Next
2. Go to the Dash installation folder default is c:\Users\USER\Polygonflow\Dash\
3. Inside of that continue to Plugins\UnrealEngineContext\resources\plugin
4. Inside here you should see a folder corresponding to your Unreal Engine version, e.g. UE_5.3
5. Copy the GraphNUnrealPlugin folder from inside the version you want Dash installed into
6. Paste this folder into your engine plugins folder. e.g. C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.2\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace
7. The resulting path to GraphNUnrealPlugin folder should be C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.2\Engine\Plugins\Marketplace\GraphNUnrealPlugin
8. Restart your UE and you should then be able to find the Dash icon as expected.
If this does not work, report an issue to the Dash team in Discord, and we will help you out. so we can fix it in the next update
If clicking on the Dash icon in UE does not open Dash, but you see a message in the UE output log saying "No module named 'GN' ", and you might have special characters, like "ß" or spaces in your installation path, please:
* Uninstall Dash.
* Create a path that doesn't have that character or space, like D:/Programs
* Install Dash there.
In some situations it could also solve other problems by running the installer as Admin, or making sure that Windows Defender or any AntiVirus program is blocking Dash.
If you see a message in the output log when clicking the Dash icon that says "ImportError: DLL load failed while importing _array:" or something similar about "DLL", it can be because you are using an Insider Preview Version of Windows and unfortunately, we don't support that 😦
