Hello DrakBell,

Here’s the error that you’ll need to pay attention to:

UnrealBuildTool Exception: ERROR: No 32-bit compiler toolchain found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\cl.exe

This usually means that you don’t have the C++ content installed for Visual Studio 2015. You’ll need to go ahead and enable this.

The link above shows how to go about doing this. Once you get the C++ tools installed, it should work perfectly.

Have a great day and good luck with the tutorial.

Hi, I’m having a similar problem.
I cannot get Visual Studio 2015 to install properly, it always comes across a “fatal error”. I decided to install the 2017 version instead, and it worked up until I got the same error message as the person here got.
Any ideas?

Did you install the C++ content as shown in the link I posted?

Yes I did, I also tried selecting to install every optional package available. But the error is still the same. If you need any more information, I posted my question here; Can't make a new 3++ project - AnswerHub - Unreal Engine Forums.

Here’s a link to a filter that contains all the threads of users who have experienced the same error message. I recommend taking a look through those and trying out their solutions to see which one works for you:
