No Compiler Was Found. UE 4.18 VS 2017

Hi,

I’ve been having a problem with unreal, every time I want to use the C++ blueprint it says:
“No compiler was found. In order to use a C++ template, you must first install Visual Studio 2017.”

I tried a whole lot of things, but can’t seem to figure it out.

A few notes:

  • I used UE4.18 before and didn’t encounter this problem.
  • I tried to use CLion Integration at a certain point because I am not very fond of VS.
  • As part of previous point I “downgraded” to UE 4.17.2
  • Until this point I had been using VS 2015.
  • Ever since this point I have had the same problem, requesting VS 2017 even though I have it already.

What I tried:

  • I tried to uninstall VS 2015 & 2017 completely and install VS 2017 using UE4.
  • I tried to re-install UE4.18.
  • I tried to install all the Win SDKs (10 & 8.1).
  • I tried opening new projects.

I am genuinely stuck at this point, and would love some assistance with this.
Thank you!
