Hi,

I’m getting the following message when trying to create a new FPS game in UE 4.19. It indicates I need to have Windows SDK 8.1.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks…

Error message follows:

An error occurred while trying to generate project files.

yes, that SDK is used for the c++ compiling (as you may have guessed) launch the VS installer program (make sure normal VS is closed) and down load that particular sdk. see bellow for details.

Hey GIGA - thanks for your feedback. I got this running. I thought all you needed to do was download the gaming module in VS. I didn’t know you had to select the additional Unreal Engine features.
Thanks again…
