This is the error I’m getting, when I try to create a new C++ Project.
How would I be able to resolve this problem?

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

Hello! This question seems to have a pretty definitive solution that can be found here. In short, make sure that you’ve downloaded the C++ build tools at this link. Hope this solves your problem!

I’m having the same problem. What version(s) of Visual Studio do you have installed? I might be wrong but you need VS 2017 for UE4.17. VS 2017 is v15 and your error complains about v14.0 which is 2015.
