New install on Win10 Pro 64 bit. VS2015 and VS2017 are installed.
Is there a workaround or specific instructions to install tool chain required by UE 4.16?
When I ran into this error it was because I had Visual Studio 2015 installed but not up-to-date. I solved my problem by uninstalling Visual Studio 2015 so VS2017 was the only version installed on my computer (I didn’t need VS2015 since UE4.15).
From what I can tell, this error occurs when you either don’t have the Visual Studio C++ tools installed (when you run the VS2017 installer) or if there are multiple versions of Visual Studio on the same computer.
I hope that helps!
