So I’ve tried to add a new c++ class to my project. When I add it, it said I need to recompile the project first before it can show the file. I not quite sure what it means, but if I close and re-open the project unreal will tell the “Following modules or built with a different engine version:” then it is the name of the project and it ask me to rebuild them now, which is always failed.
I’ve tried with a fresh new project, same story.
this is the error log :

I’ve tried to deactivate the megascan plugin, but no luck.
when I try to create a new project with C++ this happen :

I am trying to get into C++ coding with Unreal Engine 4 and I get this error message when I try to create a C++ project (I am using Unreal Engine 4.25 and Visual Studio Community 2019 16.6.5):
The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

I am trying to learn C++ and taking small steps in implementing small pieces of code from YouTube videos and other sources (I also subscribed to PacktPub.com to check out their Unreal Engine C++ books). I also know some blueprint and I am trying to replicate blueprint logic in C++.
Back around July 9 2020 I made a test project in C++ that was working fine (I could compile and I made small gameplay mechanics work) but now, after updating Visual Studio 2019 Community to 16.6.5 that project gives me errors after trying to compile it, like this log (it seems UE4 cannot “link” properly to Visual Studio now):

I fixed my issue, should have Googled it right away. If anybody has the same issue, in my case it was related to Incredibuild which I mistakenly installed with Visual Studio Community and did not know was a paid product (and obviously can’t use since I did not pay for it). I am still very much a beginner when it comes to Visual Studio and coding the “normal” way instead of scripting with blueprint.
UE4_EXEC : Fatal error : Failed to open/create session data**
Reason for error:
Using Incredibuild but having problems
Disable incredibuild in BuildConfiguration.xml (usually located in “%AppData%\ Unreal Engine \ UnrealBuildTool \ BuildConfiguration.xml”)
If you can’t find the file, it is recommended to download an app called Evening.Everything
After the installation is complete, search for BuildConfiguration.xml directly
Then edit the file and add the following
