Visual Studio 2013 not recognized

Hello there. I have Visual Studio 2013 Desktop Edition installed, but when I try to package my project it says that ‘It appears that Visual Studio 2013 is not installed’. I tried unstalling and reinstalling, but it didn’t work. Any ideas?

Hello,

  • What version of the engine are you using?
  • Does this happen when you attempt to package any project?

Thank you

I’m using 4.10.1. I tried with other 4.10 projects and it didn’t work; however, it does in 4.9

If you are using 4.10, you need to have Visual Studio 2015 installed. Go ahead and install 2015 and then give it another shot.
Here is a link to where you can install it for your convenience: Download Visual Studio Tools - Install Free for Windows, Mac, Linux

Nope. Still getting the same error message :frowning: Any more ideas?

Did you ensure to select the C++ option from the installer, as shown in this blog post? Setup Changes in Visual Studio 2015 Affecting C++ Developers - C++ Team Blog

No, I didn’t! Thanks! Before I reinstall, just to make sure: should I get Community, Enterprise, Proffesional or Express?

Thanks in advance

Community should be fine as long as you ensure to install the C++ content. Also, you don’t have to do a full reinstall, you could just run the installer again and hit the Repair button, which allows you to select additional content to install.
