Hi everytime I try to create a project with a C+±Code I get this error:
The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

Hello, MrGonzo

I am sorry to hear about your problem.

In this case, it is most likely that your Visual Studio installation is corrupt.

To fix the issue, please make sure that:

  1. Visual Studio’s InstallDir property is correct (it should look something like this:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE). You can check it in the registry.

  1. Environment variable Path is set correctly in your system (e.g. C:\Windows\System32). Also check whether VS120COMNTOOLS environment variable is appropriate (it should point to your actual Visual Studio installation location).

Finally, you can try repairing/reinstalling Visual Studio. Please don’t forget to reboot after installation.

Please note that problem may also occur due to multiple Visual Studio installations.

Hope this helped!

Have a great day!
