I am using UE 4.18.2 - 3794801

When I go to package a blueprint project for Windows (10) 64 bit, a warning message comes up asking for Visual Studio 2015.

However the documentation:

states that UE versions > 4.15 should use Visual Studio 2017.

Which is it 2015 or 2017?
Please correct the documentation or the warning message.

thank you!

I’ve stuck with 2015 because I’m more familiar with it. It still works fine with the latest (4.18.2). Both VS versions are supported tho. You just have to set a few things up differently – Epic’s install guides explain how.
