Whenever i try to start a new C++ project or try to add a C++ script to a blueprint project i get an error and a crash. i have installed the newest versions of visual studio and unreal engine. i have not checked if all the errors are the same but this is the one im getting now. thank you

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

Hello Laviticus,

I have a few questions in mind in order to better diagnose your issue:

  • What version of Visual Studio are you using to build and compile your project in?
  • What packages do you have installed on your Visual Studio instance?
  • Did you build the engine using a source build or did you build the binary version in the Launcher?

Im pretty new at this so ill try to answer to the best of my abilities thank you.

Im using visual studio 2017 community edition
Version 15.5.3
with these installed packages:

Desktop development with C++,
Python development ,
Game development with C++ ,

im not exactly sure how to answer the third question but im trying to create a new C++ basic code project from the unreal launcher i can successfully bring the file over to visual studio but when i try to build in visual studio i get similar errors. hope that info helps

i just tried creating another C++ basic code project and got this error

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