UE4 unable to make new C++ Project

Development Programming & Scripting
1

Hi, I just started using UE4 and I am running into an issue. When I first opened UE4 it told me to install Visual Studio 2017 when I had Visual Studio 2019 installed. I tried to solve this problem by updating my UE4 to version 4.24, and I opened Visual Studio 2019 and downloaded C++ in the VS installer for Unreal Engine.

Now when I open UE4 it does not tell me to install Visual Studio, but when I try to make a new C++ project, it comes with a missing module error. I can only successfully create a new project when I use blueprints. When I create a blueprints project and make a C++ project it opens in Visual Studio just fine. But when I close it and reopen the project it says I have missing modules. I set the settings to use the Visual Studio Code.

Any ideas?

**ALSO: It may be helpful info to know that Unity recognizes and is able to use Visual Studio just fine. **

With Visual Studio 2019 before installation just go to the individual components and select the .NET framework 4.6 and 4.7.

This should solve your issues.

WIth the updated VS2019 and 4.24.3 this issue has been resolved
