Hi all, I have trying to get this to work for the last three days and can’t seem to find an answer on how to fix this. I have followed all the instructions on github and still cant seem to get it running. Every time I try to build UE4 in vs2017 I get this error:

4\>ERROR : UBT error : Failed to produce item: C:\UnrealEngine-HairWorks\Engine\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UE4Editor\Development\UE4Editor-Engine.lib  
4\>Total build time: 1269.03 seconds (Local executor: 0.00 seconds)  
4\>C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets(44,5): error MSB3075: The command “…..\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat UE4Editor Win64 Development -waitmutex” exited with code 5. Please verify that you have sufficient rights to run this command.  
4\>Done building project “UE4.vcxproj” – FAILED.  
========== Build: 3 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 0 skipped ==========

I am currently using, Visual Studio Community 2017 Version 15.5.6, Unreal Engine 4.16.3, and Windows 7 64-bit.

Honestly, I just want a step by step answer to get hairworks working in UE4. I truly wish to use it.

Please advise and thank you for your time.
