UE4 failed to generate code project files with VS 2012

I’m trying to setup a basic code project but I keep getting an error that says [UE4] failed to generate the code project files. I’ve checked the system’s environment variables and the VS110COMNTOOLS variable is present. Does anyone know what I should do to get the code project files properly generated?

Hey rayDawg,

Are you trying to setup a code project from the Binary build (installed from the Launcher) or are you using a Github compiled build?

Also, check out the following documentation regarding code and code projects:

Oh, overlooked this in your title–you need to be on VS2013 for code-based projects. You can use VS2013 Express or full version.
