Every time I try to create a C++ project on UE4 I get this error, I’ve tried uninstalling both the engine and Visual Studio but I still get this message, any help? Thanks

Check Programs and features and see if you have the Visual C++ redistributable installed.

How do I do that? Sorry I’m new UE4

What you may need to do (if this is vs2015) is download and install the visual studio community. In the (once it’s downloaded) open and click modify, from there select the common files.

Hey StevenCowie-

You indicated that you are using UE4.12, if this is accurate please insure that you’re using VS 2015. As JamesSwann95 mentioned, also check the following:

  • Add/Remove Programs
  • Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 (Change)
  • Modify
  • Expand Programming Languages / Visual C++
  • Check the box for “Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015”

If you are still unable to create a code project after these steps, please try creating a new project in VS (not related to UE4) and compile/build that project. Then try creating a UE4 project.

Cheers
