Failed to add class

I tried to make another actor class in the C++ quickstart guide but it came up with this message:

Failed to add class MyActor2. Failed to automatically hot reload the ‘QuickStart’ module.

I also tried making a new project and changing the name but the same error occurred. I have only just set up UE4 and downloaded Visual Studio.

Does the Output Log (File → Developer Tools → Output Log) show any more details about why this failed?

Thanks.

That file should be included with Visual Studio - which version of Visual Studio are you using?

I assume you’re able to build your game normally (outside of the editor hot-reload)?
