Hi, I was wondering if there is anyone at all who could help with this. I am an absolute beginner who knows literally nothing about coding and I have just started trying to do this tutorial Coder 01 Set Up and Compile a C++ Project in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.7 Documentation | Epic Developer Community , as well as this setup guide for Visual Studio Setting Up Visual Studio Development Environment for C++ Projects in Unreal Engine | Unreal Engine 5.5 Documentation | Epic Developer Community , I have followed every step to the letter, checked and rechecked, uninstalled and reinstalled, searched everywhere online, but I cannot find an answer. People have apparently came across this before, I have tried the fixes they’ve mentioned but still every time I I get to the ‘compile and test your code, this is what Visual Studio tells me.
