Hi
I’m new to UE, so I’m still experimenting with it, looking at all the example projects and stuff like that. I wanted to try out a C++ project, since I know C++ relatively well, and I wish to use it in UE4 in the future. Even though I have Visual Studio 2013 Community update 4 installed (I went with the community version because I read that the express version doesn’t work), but UE4 can’t compile C++ projects for some reason. Here’s the message I get when I try to create a new C++ project:
The project failed to compile with this version of the engine. Build output is as follows:

Also, if I try to open the project in VS, it tells me that something’s wrong with it. Any ideas? I would really appreciate any help. It frustrates me that I can’t use C++ in UE4 
Btw, I’m using version 4.7.6.
