Hey RangerG-

If you’re using VS2013, you’ll need to upgrade to VS2015 for building the engine for 4.10 or later. From what I can tell based on the errors, it appears that there is a Visual Studio file that it cannot locate. Please try checking your Windows SDK installation and environment variables setup. If you still receive errors you may need to reinstall VS2015. If that doesn’t work, please explain what you mean by “building via script” as well as what engine version you are trying to compile? Something else to remember, when compiling the engine for the first time, you will need to build for Development Editor prior to building for any other configuration.

Cheers
