Also, I went ahead and tried to run the “GenerateProjectFiles.bat” again and this is the error it has:
Setting up Unreal Engine 4 project files…
‘“C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\Tools\VCVarsQueryR
egistry.bat”’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
‘msbuild.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
‘msbuild.exe’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,

GenerateProjectFiles ERROR: UnrealBuildTool failed to compile.
Looks like it is very common bug in VS installer. Download VS 2015 Redistributable from Microsoft site for both x86 and x64, install it and then rerun VS 2015 installer.
I finally got VS2015 community to install by changing the install directory, using the command below, in the command prompt.
vs_community.exe /p CustomInstallPath=“C:\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0”
I opened a command prompt in the VS2015 iso extracted folder, by shift right clicking, and hitting open command prompt here. Then I typed in the above command.
It seemed to not like the program files (x86) folder’s permissions.
Thanks for the help, I hope this helps others figure this out.
