C++ Cant Generate Projects

Development Programming & Scripting

I’m trying to create a project in UE4 and I’m having a weird problem. I’ve never come across this before and I don’t know how to fix it. When I try to create a project I get this error message:

An error occurred while trying to generate project files.

Sooo… do you have VS2015 installed?

Oh i think i know what it is, VS2015 don’t install Visual C++ by default you need to select that component during installation (because MS wants you to become C# addict :p). No worries, you can add and remove components from your VS installation, just go to Control Panel, Programs and there pick visual studio and press Add/Remove (or edit installation something like that)

Yes. I have used UE4 multiple times and I checked that I had Visual Studio.
