Hi Mathew,
thx very much for this hint.
After disabling the substance plugin, ue4 starts to package the project without needing visual studio 2015 community edition any longer.
that really saves my day !!!
but what will i have to do when i will need the substance plugin for a project in the future ??
i tried to install visual studio on my laptop and it worked without any problems …
the same win10 upgrade over the same windows 7 version.
i could see that on my laptop the installer (during splash screen) for a very short moment starts a second window and closes this again. at this point my pc aborts the installation …
Any further hint what could break my pc but didnt my laptop ??
but once again, thx very very much !!
kind regards
stucki
