UE 4.12 cant compile c++ project try rebuilding from source manually

Hello,

From look at the original post, it seems that you may both be using Visual Studio 2013. Could you both download Visual Studio 2015 Community and give that a try? As of 4.10 we moved over to using Visual Studio 2015 and with 4.12 we moved over to the 2015 toolchain.

If you’re on a source build you can still opt to use 2013 as your IDE but it will still require the 2015 toolchain I believe.

On that point, are you using a Binary verison of the engine (downloaded from the Epic Games Launcher) or a source build engine (downloaded from Github) when this occurs?
