I’m trying to create a new third person shooter project and start with C++. The problem is Visual Studio isn’t being recognized even after install.
See image of Visual Studio loading on top of project error message in red.
Hello there @tac0m!
That issue has popped up around the community from time to time, it’s usually due missing elements in the install, or not using the exact version of certain components. There are a few solution methods to test here:
-
Open the VS Installer, and select the Repair option, which will fix anything missing in your install
-
If that doesn’t work, then fully uninstall VS 2022, and reinstall it using the “Install Visual Studio 2022” button you have there in the C++ template launcher
For further info on this process, I would also suggest checking the UE doc on the matter, which lists all the components required for working with the engine, as well as their versions:
