Project won't build 4.0.2

For some reason when ever I make a new project in 4.0.2 it won’t build properly. I start with a fresh new file from one of the templates. I don’t change anything at all, not a single line of code, not even a semicolon but every time I get an error. The error I get is this:

1>------ Build started: Project: BasicCode1, Configuration: DebugGame_Editor x64 ------

If anyone can help me out that would be great, because this is really frustrating me.

Hi youraveragemoe,

I just wanted to confirm, are you using the binary version of the Engine installed by the Launcher?

What version of Visual Studio are you using?

I’m using the one installed by the launcher. But it’s OK now I managed to fix it.

If you get a , would you be able to provide an answer explaining what you did to solve the issue in case someone else runs into the same thing?

Can you explain how you solved it. I have this issue.

Hi @BlackSKY415,

The original issue that was being experienced was from an older version of the Engine (4.0.2). If you are seeing this in a newer version of the Engine, it is possible that it may be something different. If you could create a new post for the issue you are experiencing, we can focus on it there.
