Development Programming & Scripting C++

I am trying to follow the Video Tutorial 3rd Person Power-Up Game w/ C++, however when I try to create the project I receive the following errors

The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

Running C:/Program Files/Epic Games/4.8/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool.exe TutorialCode01 Development Win64 -project=“C:/Users/Andrew/Unreal Projects/TutorialCode01/TutorialCode01.uproject” -rocket -editorrecompile -progress -noubtmakefiles

So I click on the Open in Visual Studio button and then receive this error.
