Visual Studio 2017 v15.3.1 Bug

Development Pipeline & Plugins

If you have the latest update installed (https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/news/releasenotes/vs2017-relnotes), generating a project results in a solution with this set:

VisualStudioVersion = 15.0.25807.0

This seems to be causing a startup crash with the update installed (I’m about 90% sure of this); changing that value in the solution file itself to:

VisualStudioVersion = 15.3.1

Seems to remedy the issue, though.

Fixed. https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/6cee781ddf47558c9a59908428e7372a33774341

I think this was a result of having both Visual Studio 2017 as well as the Visual Studio 2017 build tools installed, so I’m assuming it was using the latter (as uninstalling it helped remedy the weirdness).

That was a different issue, actually, but glad to see it’s fixed.
