Generating Build Error

Hello,

I only recently gotten the new 4.7 engine.

Sad part, I can’t Generate the Project Files, it’s coming up with; UnrealBuildTool Exception: ERROR: Visual Studio 2012 or Visual Studio 2013 must be installed in order to build this target.

I have Visual Studio install from previous builds?

Thanks .

I got Visual Studio 2012, that’s probably why.
&
Yes I did run the Setup.bat file. so I’ll give it a go on VS13.

Thank you very much

Hey Lt_Kurisba-

Are you using the source code from GitHub? If so you’ll want to make sure that you run Setup.bat prior to running GenerateProjectFiles.bat. Additionally, Do you know which version of Visual Studio you have? As of 4.7 we have moved away from support for VS2012 in favor of more dedicated focus for 2013. I would suggest uninstalling the current version of Visual Studio and downloading the free version of Visual Studio 2013 Community.

Cheers
