Cannot create any C++ projects or add code to existing projects

JBroderick · August 28, 2016, 4:42pm

Hi all,

I’m having a really annoying problem with UE4 4.12 in that I can’t create any new C++ projects. I keep getting a error log whenever I try, I have made sure I have all the required software and verified my installation because I somewhere that could possibly fix it but still no luck. Here is the error code anyway:

The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

Any help on what I can do to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Hey -

The errors shown appears to be in Visual Studios. Can you check that the C++ programming language and Common Tools for C++ were installed when installing VS? You can do this by going to your Add/Remove programs and choosing to modify your Visual Studio 2015 install.

JBroderick · August 29, 2016, 9:16pm

Yes I have them installed, is there anything else that should be enabled that I could have missed? I’ve double checked through the documentation but I used to have this working ages ago before I had to wipe my windows for some reason. I was using vs 2013 and I don’t remember any extra stages.

anonymous_user_2b03d27c · August 30, 2016, 2:34pm

After getting this error, does the project get created in its file location? If so, can you open VS and provide a screenshot of your View->Property Pages window? Please ensure that the “Include Directories” section is blank. If you continue to get errors with this set, please try reinstalling Visual Studio 2015.

JBroderick · August 30, 2016, 3:09pm

Yeah it still creates the uproject file and everything, it just tells me to recompile if I try and open it. Heres the screenshot anyway, and the include directories were already empty. I seem to be having this same problem on another aswell where I can’t create the c++ projects there either, which makes me think I’m doing something wrong. :S

anonymous_user_2b03d27c · August 30, 2016, 3:15pm

As a bit of extra information, are you using the binary engine from the Launcher or did you build the engine from GitHub source code? When you open the project .sln and try to compile, what errors do you get from VS? Also let me know if reinstalling VS has any affect.

JBroderick · August 30, 2016, 3:27pm

I’m using the 4.12 binary from the launcher. If I compile inside of VS I get these errors:
VS Error List]

I’ll have a try and reinstalling later on aswell and I’ll let you know how that goes.

Still no luck unfortunately, I have reinstalled VS 2015… I have less errors than I did before but still any C++ won’t compile for UE4. I can’t seem to find anything conclusive about this clui.dll which is missing apparently.

vs error output 2

EDIT: False alarm apparently, it’s now giving me all the code errors like before.

Can you post your DXDiag for additional information? Also let me know if you have the checkbox for CommonTools checked (at the bottom of the modify page, not CommonTools in the C++ section). Can you also see if you get the same error when creating a 4.11 or 4.13 project.

Yeh I had common tools checked at the bottom plus the same thing happens on 4.11 and 4.13 both of which I only just installed. Here is the DXDiag:

Hey -

Could you provide some additional information about your VS installation? Please save the attached batch file to your desktop, remove the “.txt” extension and run the batch file. This will create an Info.txt file with the required information that you will then need to re-upload as an attachment.

Hmm, it doesn’t appear to be creating anything, it pops up and runs but I get no file at the end of it. It does say access is denied in the box a load of times before it disappears though.

No there isn’t any file, is the batch meant to be run from desktop or a certain directory? I just tried creating a project and it would throw up exceptions upon making it.

Plus the error log which is coming up with the same sort of stuff from before:

The file should be created in the same folder location where the batch file is being ran from. Are you running as an administrator for the machine being used? As an additional test, can you create and run a sample Hello World project in Visual Studio outside of the UE4 editor?

If standard application projects are also giving you the same error then it sounds as though the issue still lies with the Visual Studio Installation. Are you using Visual Studio Community, Express, or Pro? Was VS installed to the default directory that was suggested or did you install it to another location? Additionally, can you provide the .xml file that was mentioned in the error message for more information?

I am using community and I have it installed on my D drive which was necessary because I wouldn’t have had enough space on my C drive as it’s tiny, I’m not sure if that is the issue though as I have it installed on my C drive on my laptop and I get the same issue with VS. I can give it a try on C drive anyway as I have just realized there is a load of old VS and C++ installations which could be getting in the way of things that I could clear up.

It is fixed!!

Basically I did a few things, I cleaned the computer of the old C++ redistributables (2008/2009 versions) that I think came packaged with the autodesk suite I had. Plus I moved the installation directory to the C drive aswell like you said, ran Ccleaner just incase and did a fresh reinstall and it has successfully built a few projects now. Because it was throwing up weird code errors can I assume it was something to do with the older versions of C++ interfering?

Thanks for all the help anyways , greatly appreciated.
