No compiler was found. In order to use a C++ template, you must first install Visual Studio 2013

Hi!

I’ve been trying to create my own sidescroller game. However, I’m stuck at the very beginning… I want to bind Visual Studio 2015 with UE4, but all the time I want to create a New Project with source code I keep getting message:

"No compiler was found. In order to use a C++ template, you must first install Visual Studio 2013."

I don’ t want to use Visual Studio 2013 as I have used Visual Studio 2015 for programming quite long already… I’ve tried many things but I can’ t find the way how to fix this problem…

I’ve ran UnrealVS.vsix, which in my mind should be the extension for Visual Studio.

Hello Rasponien,

Visual Studio 2015 was not supported with Unreal until 4.10, which would explain the error message that you are seeing.

Here is the Setting Up Visual Studio documentation for reference: Setting Up Visual Studio for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine Documentation

Let me know if you have any additional questions regarding this issue.

Have a great day

Hey. Big thanks. I feel very dumb now…
Thanks for pointing it out for me :smiley:
