Looks like you need to install the Universal C Runtime for Visual Studio 2017 before you can use it together with Unreal 4.20.

I have the same problem here, even though I’m 100% the U.C.RT is installed.

I have the same exact error trying to open up a recent 4.19 project in 4.20. But trying to create a new project in 4.20 (side scroller template) worked fine for me.

5

So, what I did was installing the entire Desktop Development with C++ workload. Also, I noticed that there was an individual Windows Universal CRT SDK added to the list. And it actually upgraded the projects flawlessly now!

I have the same issue when creating a new project in 4.20. As per my screenshot, the Universal CRT is installed and so is the SDK.

I find how to fix that problem. Need to install “Visual c++ tools for CMake and Linux” tool

This worked for me! However I did notice when it was installing, it was installing Windows 10 SDK (10.0.17134.0) maybe that component was missing or needed to be updated for some reason.

9

Just get the latest Windows 10 SDK and you’ll be fine. :wink:

Don’t work with the latest W10 SDK, but work with linux c++ dev.

Thanks ArtavazdNG256 !!

I tried this but somehow it is not working for me. I’m using UE4.25 and VS code 2019. I tried a bunch of stuffs later, but I feel what helped things working is following this doc: Setting Up Visual Studio for Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine Documentation

Thank you so much. It works really well. I am using UE4.25 and Visual studio 2019

This helped me. I have UE 4.21.2 and VS 2017.
