I also ran into this prroblem these days. But finally I found out VS2015 don’t have C++ language as default. I just set up VS 2015 again and select C++, and then all works. Hope this could help.

I was lazy and didn’t want to reinstall VS, so I looked here: Visual C++ in Visual Studio 2015 | Microsoft Docs

You can install the C++ tools by attempting to make a new C++ project. It looks like this:

Thanks so much for the answer!

If you still have the VS installing kicking around then launch, and choose modify, the C++ module you need to check is pretty much at the top of the list.
So no need to re-install anyhow.

I solved this error like this:

  1. Repairing Visual Studio 2017
  2. Uninstalling and reinstalling completely Unreal Engine.

I recently encountered this error when trying to package to windows 64-bit. Following this managed to remove the error and I packaged successfully. Thank you very much.
