Hi.

I’m trying to create a C++ project in 4.10. Blueprint projects work fine, but if I try to create a C++ project I get this error :

I tried to compile it in Visual Studio 2015, but I get these errors.

Anyone has an idea what else I can try?

Hello,

This seems to be an error related to Visual Studio based on this error message: “Error LNK1101 incorrect MSPDB140.DLL version; recheck installation of this product”
I’d recommend attempting to reinstall Visual Studio and seeing if this solves the issue. When you reinstall, ensure that you check the Common Tools for C++, as this is not included with the default VS installation.

Have a great day,

Hey, thanks for the answer.

I was using Visual Studio Express 2015; I uninstalled it and installed Visual Studio Community 2015 instead (with the common tools), and it’s now working!

Thanks again.
