When launching, build fails - looking for apex binaries in wrong location

Trying UE4 for the first time today. I can Play in editor fine(empty project) but can’t launch.

LogPlayLevel:Display: ErrorReporter.Error: ERROR: AutomationTool error: No files found to deploy for C:\Program Files\Unreal Engine\4.4\Engine\Binaries\ThirdParty\PhysX\APEX-1.3\Win64\VS2012 with wildcard *.dll and exclusions System.String[]

I have VS2012 installed and I also installed VS2013 windows desktop today. The binaries are there but under

…/Win64/2013

How can I tell the editor to stop looking in the wrong place?

Thanks.

Windows 8.1 64 bit
8.00GB
Intel Core i5-4670k @ 3.40GHz

UE 4.4.1

VS2013 service pack 3

I should also say that I have not built from source, I only mention I have VS 2013 because it’s kind of related to the error message.

Same with 4.4.2, attached log.

Someone has same issue here:

I don’t really want to copy the files into the 2012 folder since it’s a hack and could potentially give me more problems down the line.

Been nearly a week now, any love from anyone would be great, thanks :slight_smile:

Fixed it. I had installed the wrong visual studio, I had VS 2013 for windows when I needed VS 2013 for desktop :slight_smile:

I got the answer online after noticing that ‘add code to project’ under ‘File’ was greyed out, fixing that fixed this. Another answer for your hub!
