.NET 4.5 required, yes it is installed

Hello,

Just got a new rig so had to reinstall everything, i’ll list it below in case it’s needed:
MSI x299 Raider
Intel I7 7820x Basin Falls
Corsair vengeance 16gb DDR4 3000mhz
Gtx 1080 founders

Issue is following:

I can’t generate project files on a github downloaded engine. It tells me I need .NET 4.5, however it is installed as it’s showing up in VS17 and I can generate project files in a c++ project of binaries engine, I have also created a c++ project from scratch with the binaries download and added c++ code to a blueprint project.

Additionally, I’ve tried redownloading the prerequisites, with no result.

I’ve also downloaded engine 4.16 from the launcher from scratch.

When running setup.bat it runs until it asks for admin power, after which it simply shuts down the bat file at “Installing prerequisites…”, closes automatically. If I run bat with admin power, it just closes after “Installing prerequisites…”.

Anyone any idea what’s causing this?

Weird, after I installed Windows SDK(Which also has NET 4.5) and launched the Gen. Proj. Files as Admin it worked, didn’t work earlier when I tried to run it as admin.
