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

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Please help! I’m new to UE4, I downloaded a course from Udemy and followed the download instructions. I have visual studios 2017 with the windows 10 and 8.1 SDKs (86 & 64) and UE4 4.13.3.When I try to make a template in C++ blank I keep getting this error. It does not occur when I use a regular blueprint. I’ve tried uninstalling and downloading both programs and keep receiving the same error message.

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

  • open your visual studio installer, choose Modify, choose Individual Components, choose Unreal Engine Installer under “Games and Graphics” section. Install this component should solve your problems.
