Is that Blueprint project need VisualStudio?

hi, good day,
Studying the official tutorial, UE4 have 2 type, Launcher and Source Code.
Install UE4 Source Code in Windows 7 need include VS2013.

I’m using the UE4 Launcher version, and will doing all my project under Blueprint.
cause I’m fresh in C++, zero knowledge. :stuck_out_tongue:

I wish to know that, is that i still need install Visual Studio 2013 or Express inside my PC?
because i wont touch any C++ inside the engine code and also my project.

You don’t need visual studio for blueprint work. Just run the editor and have a blast!

Already have a huge Blast!!! Is’t sound great for me. Hard work studying now bout Blueprint.
UE4 Blueprint such a nice tools for me, no need C++ and Visual Studio.
And also I can Package and Deploy projects to Android and iOS using Blueprints under Windows 7 64bit, no need buy a new MAC OS X, save cost.

Epic good jobs! :smiley:

apparently now you do need VS to launch or package blueprint projects.
i cannot launch or package blueprint only projects without VS

You shouldn’t need VS to package them, but I highly suggest you download VS anyways.
