UWP GenerateProjectFiles

I’m trying to add the UWP to Unreal Engine 4 so I can develop games for the Windows 10 apps.

I had some trouble with the Setup at first but that’s now working when I select Setup it works fine
and it shows a pop up for Prerequisites.

But when I try to run GenerateProjectFiles it shows Yellow text it mentions something about not being able to locate
the assembly “Windows” and to check to make sure the assembly exists.

Under the yellow text shows several red text with all of them having similar text almost like this:

C:\Users"NAME"\Documents\GitHub\Microsoft_UWP_UNREAL\Engine\Source\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\Configuration\ModuleRules.cs could not be found [C:\Users"NAME"\Documents\GitHub\Microsoft_UWP_UNREAL\Engine\Source\Programs\UnrealBuildTool\UnrealBuildTool.csproj]

GenerateProjectFiles ERROR: UnrealBuildTool failed to compile.

Press any key to continue . . .

What should I do?

The UWP support in UBT has a dependency on the Windows 8.1 SDK. You can try installing that from Windows SDK y el archivo del emulador | Microsoft Developer and your yellow warning message should go away. I’m not sure whether it explains your full-on red errors though.

Probably makes more sense for the build tool dependency to be on the Win10 SDK since any C++ UE project will need that anyway. I’ll make a note.
