I had posted this bug with my project like a week ago.
It is fixed and everything works fine in VS2013.
But now the Hot Recompile compiler has this issue ; I assume only Epic can fix that? (in the Launcher Version)
Fix was: VS2013 Project Settings were missing $(LibraryPath)
Hi ,
I am not seeing this issue with the 4.3.1 preview. Can you tell me exactly what steps you take from creating a new project to seeing this error? Can you confirm that this is only happening in the Editor with a Hot Recompile? Building in Visual Studio does not cause any issues? Can you provide the build log when the error occurs?
I downloaded UE4.3.1 preview from the launcher and updated my project to this version. (was using 4.2 before)
When I tried to Hot Recompile, Error LINK : fatal error LNK1181: cannot open input file ‘delayimp.lib’ ; no error appears in Visual Studio.
As I said ; I had this problem in VS2013 two weeks ago with my project. But I was able to fix it by adding “$(LibraryPath)” to the Project Settings.
I cannot do that with the Engine, because it’s the launcher verison.
Hi ,
I have not had any luck reproducing the error referring to delayimp.lib. The only error I was able to trigger was the expected one when making changes to a header file. Are you only experiencing this issue in your project, or do you see the same error in a new project from one of the templates?
I just checked with the Shooter Game example and the Vehicle Game
Unfortunately it gives me the header changes error. (which, in my project, also happens and therefor overrides the delayimp.lib error)
So I am unsure if it happens in other Projects
Let’s say no, what would I have to do to fix it?
Since we can’t reproduce the error message, we have not yet been able to determine why the error is appearing for you. One thing you could please check for me. Does $(LibraryPath) still appear in the project settings within Visual Studio for your project? My project settings do not include that, and adding it does not seem to have any effect for me.
Another thing you can try that might be helpful. Download the attached file and place it in an empty folder on your desktop. Remove the .txt extension and run the file. It will create an info.txt file inside the folder. If you can upload that file here, that would be great.
It was indeed still there. I tried removing it, and nothing changed.
Compiling in VS2013 works, Hot Recompile doesn’t.
I attached the info file link text
I noticed a couple things in the file that you uploaded. Go to your Windows Environment Variables (located at Control Panel\System and Security\System -> Advanced system settings -> Environment Variables). Locate the Path variable and add ;C:\Windows\System32 to the end (make sure to include the semi-colon).
Then locate your VS120COMNTOOLS environment variable and make sure it is pointing to the \Common7\Tools folder in your Visual Studio installation. It is a good idea to check to make sure the folder actually exists at the location the variable is pointing to. If this variable is not correct, change it to point to the correct folder location. I suspect that this variable is likely correct, but the Error message in the info.txt file you provided suggests that it may not be.
One last thing to check. I don’t anticipate a problem here either, but in your Visual Studio installation, go to \VC\lib and see if you have delayimp.lib in that folder.
I am still trying to track down the root cause of this error message, and not being able to reproduce it myself is just making it more difficult.
Ok, I added the sys32 path to the PATH variable.
I checked the VS120COMMONTOOLS path, it’s existing. And delayimp.lib is existing (else, I would get compile errors in VS2013, right?)
I just tried and it works now 
Thank you
Ok, , hello! Can you help me with same problem? Hot Recompile doesn’t work, but the compilation in VS2013 is alright. Path variable is correct, VS120COMNTOOLS too, delayimp.inc exists. info.txt attached to the mesage.link text
Hi ,
I noticed that in your Path variable, you have C:\Windows\System32 listed twice. I don’t think that is causing the issue you are seeing, but you can remove the second instance of that path at the end of your Path variable.
Is this something that was working for you previously and is now broken? What version of the Engine are you using, and is it the binary version installed by the Launcher, or did you build it from source code?
Thanks for quick answer, . I have UE 4.4.3, it’s binary. Sorry for my last post, but I still can’t build my project by VS2013 without write $(LibraryPath). Think that this problem in VS2013 is root of Hot Recompile problems 
There was from first UE4 and VS2013 installations. I have Windows 8 and Windows SDKs are installed.
Just a minor detail, but I want to make sure. You mentioned that you have a delayimp.inc file. Do you also have a delayimp.lib file?
Hi, I’m basically in the same situation as , except I am now using UE 4.7.2, attached info.txt link text. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi ,
The only way I have ever been able to trigger this error message was by removing all of the Executable Directories from the project properties. Adding those back in clears up the error and lets me build successfully.
Right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer in Visual Studio and select Properties at the bottom of the menu. Go to Configuration Properties → VC++ Directories. For Executable Directories, click the down arrow at the end of the line and select the Edit option. Make sure the “Inherit from parent or project defaults” check box is checked.
Let me know if that doesn’t work for you.
New projects have the check box checked by default.
Hi ,
My apologies for not returning to this post sooner. Is this still a problem for you?
