VS2013 Error RC2247 when editing .rc file

Development Pipeline & Plugins

It does not continue opening the file - the Resource View tab changes to look like this.

I just replicated it myself with a new project, using the following steps:

  1. Open the UE4 Launcher
  2. Download the Strategy Game sample, if you don’t have it
  3. Click “Create Project” under the Strategy Game sample’s box
  4. Choose to create it in ~/Projects, keep the default name of StrategyGame
  5. Open ~/Projects/StrategyGame, right-click on StrategyGame.uproject and choose “Generate Visual Studio project files”
  6. Open StrategyGame.sln, double-click StrategyGame/StrategyGame/Source/Resources/Windows/StrategyGame.rc

The engine version it launches with is different here (4.3.1-2226335+++depot+UE4-Releases+4.3), as StrategyGame does not support 4.4 (yet?), but the error is the same.
