Error from Visual Studio

Development Programming & Scripting C++

Hi everyone,

I hope someone can help me find a solution to this rather strange error I get from Visual Studio.
It was last night I was about to create a new class in Unreal engine 4.6. I did the “normal procedure” and then when it was loading the new file into Visual Studio all hell went loose.
It crashed really hard and didn’t want to boot the UE4 project anymore. I just threw a whole bunch of errors everywhere at me.

I thought it might be the project so I took that away and tried with the default engine solution but still the same error. Then I “re-installed” the 4.6 engine, but now I get these errors and then the same crash:
Unsupported

Can anyone please point me in the right direction of what to do?
I tried to search for it today, but that error message isn’t that easy to search for :wink:

Specs:

Unreal engine 4.6
Win 8.1
Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate
Empty project/old project, same result.

Hmm I got a new error now from Visual Studio with a pre-built engine.

I’ll try and reinstall Visual Studio, it throws different errors each time so it has lost it all together now :frowning:

A fresh install of Visual Studio seems to have done the trick.
It works good again, I guess this thread is done then. But I guess it can be valuable to someone else if they have the same problem :slight_smile:
