Hey there,

This is the message i get.
i already installed developement kit for game developement via visual studio installer.
As well as i installed a winsdksetup.exe which i found in the UE4 AnswerHub. I dont have any ideas left. Can you help me?
Im running Win 10 and UE 4.18

Would you like to open it in Visual

Hi,

Make sure you have all the necessary packages installed in your Visual Studio. First, Install the latest version of Visual Studio (Community or any edition). If you already have the latest version on your system, then open Visual studio and inside it, click on Tools > Get Tools and Features to open the Visual Studio Installer (alternatively you can open it from Start > Search for Visual Studio Installer). Inside the installer and Workloads tab, make sure all 3 components of Windows category are checked. Scroll down and check Game development with C++ as well. Next, go to the Individual components tab, scroll down to SDKs, libraries, and frameworks and make sure that Windows 8.1 SDK is also checked. Install it and try again. Hopefully, your C++ projects should compile now without any issues.
