Hello Everyone I have looked at a few solutions to similar errors online but none seem to be the same. This error pops up when i try to create a project for c++ basic code on UE4. I have tried to look into modifying VS 2017 but I have the c++ toolkit installed so that shouldn’t be the problem. Here is the Error.
The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

Well the error is quite clear, you should install “Windows SDK v8.1” you can found it here : https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?LinkId=323507

Hey, I’m having this error too. I clicked your link and downloaded that but am still getting it. Do you think it’s because Unreal is checking my C: drive, but Unreal is installed in my D: drive? How should I fix that?

Okay, I solved it with this thread if anyone runs into this problem.

Essentially hit "modify’ for visual studios and brought in C++.
