theres already a post about this but i think it was “answered” and closed because some people had success getting VS installed and getting rocket c++ code working, but for me i still cant get it to work at all, what redists do we need (year + version numbers) wheres the best place to get all the installers needed,
the only solutions iv seen is reinstall windows, which isn’t really an option for me as i have way too much to reinstall if do this.
Hey Marc,
The requirements are listed here: https://rocket.unrealengine.com/docs/ue4/INT/GettingStarted/Basics/RecommendedSpecifications/index.html#MinimumSoftwareRequirements
Let us know if you run into any trouble.
Best Regards,
Ryan
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/67958200/roerror.png this is what i get every single time, iv tried reinstalling everything (including DX SDK but that has error of its own where i have to manually install some redists) tried VS 1st, rocket 1st, DX SDK 1st, different versions of VS, 2 versions of rocket, pretty much everything i cna think of.
Check your environment variable for VS, I had the same problem : uninstall VS, remove the Windows environment variable and reinstall VS correctly. (Maybe you can try to fix the environment variable manually instead of reinstalling everything.)
Ive always installed Rocket before I install Visual Studio and its actually pretty easy this way, I load up Rocket which tells me I need VS 2012 and provides a link to a page containing different options. I choose the option I like, which is VS 2012 Express and install that, once thats done rocket allows me to make a Project with C++.
As far as Ive done things no separate redists are required, they are all installed as bundled with the different packages.
