I reinstalled Unreal Engine and Visual Studio 2015 several times… still cannot make a new project or open a project with this weird message.

 ![105770-wtf.png](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/c/5/e/c5e09754f0eb9b8a7ab348e46baf08b697115b74.png)

and when I try open any project it asks whether want to be build and…

it comes with this

“could not be compiled. Try rebuilding from source manually”

I wasted a day for this. Please help me.
