You can download the binaries from the official site and still use C++. If you are uncomfortable using C++ use blueprint.
Did you get this from the Master Branch? Because that is for the most part unstable. You need to pick it up from the dedicated branch (4.6, 4.7, 4.8, etc.)
Are you building this from source? Are downloading the binaries and using that? Are you using VS Express? VS Community?
Additional information would be helpful.
