Mspdb120.dll missing on computer error

Hey,

Today I’ve tried the first time to create a ue4 c++ (thrid person) project.
I followed the tutorial instruction from this “- YouTube” video, but when I’m trying to compile the VS project it says: mspdb120.dll missing on computer.

I’ve checked other threads with the same problem, but found no solutiuon yet.

I’m using Windows 8.1 64 bit.
Visual Studio 2013 Express
Unreal Engine 4.3

I’ve set my Environment variables %VS120COMNTOOLS% to D:\Programme\IDE\Visual Studio 2013 Express\Common7\Tools

Anyone can help me pls?

I’m having the exact same problem except I’m using … Any you found the solution?

I’ve managed to get rid of the mspdb120.dll error, by putting in into the system64/system32/system folder ._.
but still getting the error:
->each time when I try to compile the project, I get the Question dialog: “Project moduls are missing or out of date. Would you like to recompile them?” then unreal engine is loading them. (pressing OK)
→ error appears: “Game code couldn’t be compiled, Continue trying to start anyway?” (pressing OK)
→ and “The game module ‘MyProject’ could not be found. Please ensure that this module exists and that it is compiled”

no sry, still no solution

After doing the following I no longer get the error. I went to Project → Properties and then under “Configuration Properties → VC++ directries” I selected all of them that I could to inherit parent class properties (or something like that. I know “Inherit” was in the option). I could then build with no problems and continue with the tutorial OP mentions above.

I’ve alrdy tried this solution, but still getting a error:
->each time when I try to compile the project, I get the Question dialog: “Project modules are missing or out of date. Would you like to recompile them?” then unreal engine is loading them. (pressing OK)
→ error appears: “Game code couldn’t be compiled, Continue trying to start anyway?” (pressing OK)
→ and “The game module ‘MyProject’ could not be found. Please ensure that this module exists and that it is compiled”

I have no idea how to fix that.

Hi Sleicreider,

Could you provide some additional information? What version of Visual Studio 2013 Express are you using? Did you build the Engine from source code, or are you using the binary version installed by the Launcher? Can you provide a detailed step-by-step example of how you are creating your project through to getting the error?

Thanks

“Solved”
After re-installing win8 everything worked !

There should be a better way than having to reinstall windows…

I couldn’t find any other solution, mby my Windows was corrupted, because after the re-installation everything worked without problems.
