An error occurred while trying to generate project files

What has happened exactly ; need to start the coding in visual studio express 2015 edition.

Hi. When you installed visual studio express 2015 did you select “Install c++”? It’s not on by default.
Basically , you installed visual studio but didn’t install c++.

ok: I just reinstalled; with visual studio community 2015, selecting the c++ option. This should fix it; I will try in the morning regards.
