Hello,
This is the first time I post on any forum in my programming career. I usually googled hard enough to solve any problem. But now I’m trying to get Unreal Engine 4.4.3 running since a week.
I’m planning to create a simple FPS puzzle game with rocketjumping mechanics. I could actually work on blueprints only, but as I come from programming background, I would prefer to use C++.
I tried to use regular Unreal 4 Installation for mortals and non-coders, and to create a project using ‘Third person Code’ template. The loader opened my Visual Studio, and loaded the project. I chose ‘Development Editor’ and ‘Windows’, and ran ‘Rclick project → Debug → Start new instance’. Fail. The stacktrace, along with a screenshot: http://screenshooter.net/100063725/mcytyjx
I tried creating a blank project and Adding Code To Project. I have created a single Actor Script and I tried to ‘Debug → Start new instance’, just as in 1. Fail. I got exactly the same stacktrace as in 1.
I tried to fork the source of Unreal 4.4.3, and build it. I have successfully cloned it, copied the required files, generated project files, opened solution with VS, waited for it to say ‘Ready’, and I tried to build it. Fail. The stacktrace, along with a screenshot: http://screenshooter.net/100063725/knvywqt , http://wklej.eu/index.php?id=791e1614ad&view=nl
I have windows SDK. My Path contains win32. I have searched endlessly. Halp.
For now I’m using Blueprints and they work OK, but I don’t want to go past prototype stage with them only.
[EDIT] I’ve just tried the same steps on a different machine, with and VS Express 2013 - Engine compiles with no problem. What’s wrong
Looks like something is wrong with VS installation or envriament varables. If you dont know this might hint you, UE4 does not use default VS build system, but its own called UBT, VS project files is not even needed and settings there are mainly for IntelliSence
Thanks for the reaction!
What do you suggest? Reinstall? The VS is also brand new, just installed. I followed THIS tutorial in setting it up. Shall I try any different approach?
The C1083 and RC1015 error messages that you received typically mean that the Windows SDK is not installed, or is not being located correctly. Could you try installing the SDK and see if that helps with this issue?
Hello there,
Thanks for care. Unfortunately - this is not the issue this time. I have already downloaded and installed the SDK. Downloading and running the installer once more only gives me one window: http://screenshooter.net/100063725/qlhrarc
Perhaps the SDK’s location is the problem? Where should it be?
If the SDK installed correctly, its exact location shouldn’t be a problem.
Could you please download this file and place it in a new, empty folder on your desktop. Remove the .txt extension from the file name and run the file. It will create a new info.txt file. If you could upload that file here, that might help me rule out a couple possibilities.
Have you tried any other versions of the Engine to see if the same issue occurs with those? For example, if you download the binary version of 4.3.1 and try to create a code project, do you get the same results when building it?
