Hello!

When I’m trying make a new C++ project, then I get this error…
I using Visual Studio 2017. Windows 8.1 SDK and Game development with C++ are installed. I reinstalled Unreal Engine but it didn’t solve the problem…
I using Windows 8.1 Pro, 64 bit
What can I do?

Thank you for your reply!

ERROR:

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

i think there is a problem passing these characters á,é (that are in the name of your pc user name) to UBT (Unreal Build Tool) because they get passed this way M?t? as you can see in the log at this line:

 Running UnrealHeaderTool "C:\Users\M?t?\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyProject3\MyProject3.uproject" "C:\Users\M?t?\Documents\Unreal

So a quick fix should be to move the project directory to another folder, for example C:\UE4Projects\MyProject\
