I am trying to make a new project with the Basic Code template in ue 4.14.2. When I create the project I get the following error:

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

It doesn’t appear that there is a UE4Editor-Steamworks_2017.dll file anywhere in my project. I have visual studio 2013 community installed on my machine, and when I build it in vs it doesn’t seem to build. How do I fix this mess?

UPDATE:
I installed visual studio 2015 community on my machine and now when I make a new project I get this error:

An error occurred while trying to generate project files.

UnrealBuildTool Exception: ERROR: No 32-bit compiler toolchain found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\cl.exe

This appears to be a different problem, does anyone have any advice?

Did you install VS2015 AND chose c++ as language, or did you just set up VS2015?

Try to create a new C++ project in VS, if it tells you to install some c++ tools, do it.

Thank you, I have the project up and running now.
