Got Visual Studio 2015 Installed with:
Programming Languages > Visual C++
Common Tools > Visual Studio Extensibility Tools Update 3

The UE4 project im trying to build has the following features:
C++ > Basic Code + No Starter Content

Once I click “Create Project” in the UE Project Browser, the following error message appears:

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

I open it in Visual Studio and when I try to build it there I get the following error:

Anyone knows how I can fix this? Thanks in advance!!

Update: Problem solved.

Conflict with my Win10 User folder name containing special characters and messing up with UE4 reading the directory path.

*For clarification, all instances of the user folder name I provided in the error messages in the original post was changed to “user” for privacy.

Can you more accurately explain what were you do? i have same problem as you

I figured it out.
In my case, the file in which my project was had the following name :
E:\Jeux Vidéos\Unreal Engine 4\Stealth Game start\StealthGameProjectBase418\StealthGame

Actually, Visual Studio did not recognize the “é” special character so it was loading as
“E:\Jeux Vid&os\Unreal Engine 4\Stealth Game start\StealthGameProjectBase418\StealthGame”
and so could not find the directory.

Hope this will help ^^

Thank you, I faced the same issue. My output directory contains Turkish special characters and build failed. Everything works fine after I changed output directory.
