Is there a Different compiler for C++?

I am following along the twin stick shooter tutorial, but I have a problem, I can’t install Visual Studio on my PC, when I click it as administrator it just closes again with no error.

So my question is, can you set a different compiler for C++ for the Unreal Engine, or is that not possible?

No as i think, UBT supports clang (practically for everything else then Windows and OS X) but i don’t think it supports it on Windows. You gonna have better chance trying to solve VS installation problem

Check system system logs (My Computer right click->Manage->Logs) might hint you wants your problem with VS
