Why am I receiving an error when trying to compile in VS (C1001, MSB3073)?

Hi! As I commented before, i reinstalled my whole machine :smiley: yaaay. And finally now it’s compiling. so here are the steps what I did:

  • removed win 8.1 installed win 7

  • installed all the drivers for the
    mainboard then, the vga (new from
    internet)

  • installed VS2013Express.

  • Installed DX2010JuneRedist

All to the
drive C: where windows is located.

  • Started VS to do its first time
    thing…

  • Closed VS

  • Unzipped the source from my backup
    drive and moved it to the Root of
    drive C:

  • Run generateprojectfiles.bat

  • Opened the UE4 solution

  • Changed settings to
    development_editor and win64

  • Finally clicked Build and it works
    :smiley:

By the way the MSB3073 error is usually an error with the projects path system not sure about what was the problem… maybe the vs was installed in another drive, maybe the project were in wrong place, maybe both… or the win 8.1 with my pc specs.
But this helped me.

Hope you can use the tool soon it’s awesome!
