Hello everyone,

i have a Problem with compiling C++ Projects…



The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

and i know already were the problem is its this: ERROR: Failed to start local process for action: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin\x64\rc.exe
this path only partly exists “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\bin” but no 64bit Folder only the 32bit one (x86).

This is what i tried already:

Reinstalling Windows SDK 8.1
Reinstalling Visual Studio 2017
Reinstalling Unreal Engine 4.18.2 and 4.17.2 (Yes i get the same Error for both versions while compiling)

Maybe someone can help me

Try to reinstall OS? =) i had similliar problem and it helped me. By some reason i couldnt create C++ project in windows 10, so i installed my old windows 7 and everything works fine now.

There is something in the Visual Studio 2017 installer that you have to select for UE4 (UE4 integration or something like that).

Check this page and do exactly what they say: Setting Up Visual Studio for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine Documentation

@MarkcusD I just checked the Visual Studio installation and its already setup with the right settings but just to make sure it works i reinstalled VS2017 again with the settings described in the link above but it did not worked.

What if game project is just in Blueprint mode instead of C++ programming mode?
