Hey there,

I just installed UE4 Version 4.13.1 but when I try to create a cpp project I get the following Error

An error occurred while trying to generate project files.

I just can create Blueprint Projects. Any Ideas?

So long…

2

when its compile it crash with the same error, “invalid character in path”

3

If you make a blueprint project then add a c++ file to it from the menu. does that succeed?

4

Where is your project? what characters are in the path?

If it’s D:/Unreal-Workspace/MyProject/MyProject.uproject Try changing the hyphen “-” to an underscore “_”

I changed the Path but its not working, don’t know what to do…
