Greetings,
I’m trying to create a Code First Person C++ project and I’m receiving that error. While searching, I noticed that there are issues with those who have multiple installations of VS. In my case, I have VS 2010, and now VS 2013 Express.
Is there a walk-around for this?
Bump. I want to add that I’m running the editor from the full source. If do it on the 7 GB download version, it works. I want to know if there is something I can do about it or that it’s a bug that I’ll need to wait for it to fix. Thank you! 
Edit: I installed VS2013 Express in the D: drive. Is that an issue?
That’s not my problem. The UE4 source compiles perfectly. When I run the editor, and I want to create a new C++ project, I’m getting an error indicating that .uproject file failed to be created.
Hi what error are you getting ?
With Express installations there’s an additional step that needs to take place in some cases - the fix can be found here:
What operating system are you running?
Windows 7 Professional SP1
When I get back home I’ll try that.
Yeah thats the same as me, Im having a similar problem thats why I ask. Im trying everything short of recompiling the source myself, which I shouldnt really be forced to do. Im got VS2012 Ultimate and VS2013 express, I did have VS2012 express as well but I removed it before I installed VS2013.
I tried the 8.1 SDK, environment variables, most of what I could find that wouldnt break my install. Oh I should note all my directories are default including the UE4 ones.
Hey !
I solved it by installing VS2013 in the C:\ drive. It will never work otherwise…
Okay so I tried installing VS2013 ultimate (default directory) and I got it working. All previous installs, VS2012 Ultimate, VS2012 Express, VS2013 Express, including the 8.1 SDK did nothing (also all default directories and UE4 all default directory including project default directory).
No recompiling necessary.
Seenooh,
Did you have to re-install the unreal engine tools after moving VS2013? I uninstalled and re-installed VS 2013 express for desktop to try and fix this same issue, but it is still not working for me - even with putting it on the C: drive the second time.
Out of frustration, I removed the entire thing, including UE4. I re-installed everything with VS2013 Exp being in C:. So I’m not really sure whether UE4 removal is a required step.
Thanks. I’m going to try this right now. For the reference of others, I’ve installed VS2013 Express in the default location, along with the SDK and Direct X packages in their default location. I will be installing the Unreal engine on an alternate drive.
