After installing Visual Studio Community 2017, the unreal engine does not find the compiler, I have tried a lot of things: uninstalling both programmes, changing the preferences of the engine… But the problem is still there and I cannot create a project based on c++.
Just to be sure you have followed these steps
and these
and rebooted after doing these.
man, that sucks. Could try to make a BP project and turn it into a c++ project, but you will most likely get the same error.
I found this post. These guys had more suggestions.
