Do you have windows sdk files ?

usually located at : %PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows

if not try installing windows sdk (for windows 7):
http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=8279

if you have it installed , check to see if they are added to your project

Project->References->C/C+±>Genera->Additional Include Directories

“SDK Path\Include”

and to

Project->References->Linker->General->Additional Library Directories

“SDK Path\Lib”

Hope that helps

-Cheers

Hello, thanks for your reply. Okey, i have found i have the SDK stuff:

719×271 35.7 KB

However i can’t find
SDK Path\Include.
or
SDK Path\Lib.

however i can’t see the ‘linker’ or find any of the other stuff after hunting.:

835×482 23.7 KB

Looking further, i think this is it:
796×468 26.2 KB

These are all fresh installs. I am also confused that it can’t find windows.h…

Ah, i have found the Lib and Include, just gonna try them now, thanks.

you are referencing a older version of windows.h

I came back home from work and actually looked at the code, the project seems to be referencing

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um\WIndows.h

so check to see if you have windows kit installed of not, you can get it from

just installing it should work

Okey, i will try installing that one. Thanks! I shall reply this evening (off to college right now)

I can compile in the studio now, but only on the Shipping one, not any of these:

When i try to open the project in the Unreal Project Browser i seem to get this error:

Thanks!
