I can't open my project after adding C++ Class

I do not have any solution ready for this. What you might try, but that’s really very experimental and speculative:

Open the .uproject file in text editor and remove the content from your Modules section in the project - this could prevent the attempt to build the project at all…

As I said: backup everything before doing this, I did never try this on my own.

{
	"FileVersion": 3,
	"EngineAssociation": "4.XX",
	"Category": "XXXX",
	"Description": "",
	"Modules": [
		{
			"Name": "YourProjectName",
			"Type": "Runtime",
			"LoadingPhase": "Default",
			"AdditionalDependencies": [
				"Engine",
				"AIModule"
			]
		}
	],
	"Plugins": [
		{
			"Name": "RawInput",
			"Enabled": true
		}
	]
}

change it to

{
	"FileVersion": 3,
	"EngineAssociation": "4.XX",
	"Category": "XXXX",
	"Description": "",
	"Modules": "",
	"Plugins": [
		{
			"Name": "RawInput",
			"Enabled": true
		}
	]
}

or maybe even remove the modules section completely…

Have no more ideas than this, but if you at least could open your project, you will be able to migrate content into a new one and start adding C++ stuff there, having installed Visual Studio and DotNet SDK at that time.
