Hi,
I was trying to do a simple blank code C++ project in unreal but compilation keeps failing, trying to compile in VS 2015 also fails… Here is the output from VS 2015

I tried recreating this issue with a new Basic Code project, and the project built fine for me. Is this a brand new project that you are creating, or is it one that you have already been working on for a while? Do you see this same result in different types of projects?
Brand new, I am doing the unreal course on udemy and this was towards that. Could PC specs have anything to do with this - I have a really bad system at work (quadro GPU and AMD processor with 8 GB RAM) - just curious.
I did not try a different project though I did try to compile directly from VS 15 which resulted in the same error.
I will try different project and let you know tomorrow, thanks for the help
I tried a blank Blueprint project and that loaded fine. I tried another brand new C++ project and that failed too with the same “Failed to produce item” error… is something missing in my VS 2015 installation? I did a whole round of C++ coding on it just now, so that install is good
I created a brand new C++ blank code project, Unreal failed at its usual place. Then I generated VS project files, opened the sln and did a rebuild and it fails with exactly the same problem… I am thoroughly lost
Below are the errors on rebuilding:

I just wanted to make sure that you are actually using version 4.13.1 of the Engine. The error you are seeing initially appeared in 4.12 when Update 3 for Visual Studio 2015 was released by Microsoft. That was fixed in 4.12.5, so using 4.13.1 with Visual Studio 2015 shouldn’t be giving you this error.
You nailed it sir. I was just going to reply to this whole thread and mark it solved and you beat me to it. I was on 4.12 and after nothing having worked I got 4.13 in and lo behold, all worked well. Picture perfect timing. Thanks a lot for all the help
Glad to know that you were able to get this working. I didn’t recognize the error at first since the post was initially marked as using 4.13. When I looked at it again today I started to think that the error looked familiar, and after a while I remembered where I had seen it before. You should be fine, now.
No worries, it happens. I know this particular issue was a rather significant concern for anyone who updated to Update 3 in Visual Studio 2015, and I should have recognized it and double-checked which version you were using sooner.
