When I try to create a new project I get the following error.
After opening it in VS and attempting to compile it I get these errors when building the source with “Development Editor|Win64”.
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error Failed to start build. Project D:\UE4\Project\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\EXEC 1

Error MSB3075 The command ""D:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.19\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat" ProjectEditor Win64 Development "D:\UE4\Project\Project.uproject" -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild" exited with code 5. Please verify that you have sufficient rights to run this command. Project C:\VStudio\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets 44
I believe I have the permissions though, I have given the parent and children folders every permission, for account administrators, power user, local, all application packages, system, local service, home users, authenticated users, backup operators, down to the username account.
It compiled fine when I changed it to “Development Editor|Win32” though.
The OS is Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit verified using cmd prompt.

I have also tried reinstalling VStudio 2017 Community from scratch.
