Unreal Engine 4 is available for Win10 UWP app dev now

Hi there,

I would love to get our existing 4.16 game project running as a UWP project. I have:

  • Got the latest UWP UE4 Engine from GitHub
  • Run setup.bat
  • Registered the UWP Engine folder as an engine installation
  • Changed the engine association of our existing project to the UWP Engine
  • Right clicked on our existing project and selected “Generate Visual Studio Project Files” which completed successfully
  • Opened the solution file in VS2015
  • Cleaned the solution
  • Set our game project as the startup project and hit build

I get the following error:

2> Module.UWPDeviceDetector.cpp
2>C:\P4\IDA_UWP\Engine\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UE4Editor\Development\UWPDeviceDetector\Module.UWPDeviceDetector.cpp : fatal error C1093: API call ‘ImportFile’ failed ‘0x80070002’: ErrorMessage: The system cannot find the file specified.

2>dbsbuild : error : aborting build on error (2)

2> Total build time: 35.58 seconds (SNDBS executor: 0.00 seconds)

Has anyone else experienced this?
