Hi shadow5455565, I have a few questions before I’ll be able to appropriately assist you with this issue. - When are you getting this error? Is it when you try to create a project based off C++ or when you try to add a C++ class to an existing project? - What type of error is it? Does it simply cause a window to pop up and then the editor continues working as usual or does the editor crash? - If the editor crashes, can I have the crash log? It should be located at MyDocuments/MyProject/Saved/Logs - If the editor doesn’t crash, can you reproduce this and give me the exact error message? ---

The only programming language that the editor supports natively is C++. There may be some community-made plugins that can allow for the use of other languages but they are all experimental as I understand it. I understand you’re unable to provide the error at the moment but I will need that to proceed. ---

What version of the engine are you using? I have a couple things you can try but they make take some time. First, open the launcher and hit the ‘Library’ tab. After that, select the dropdown arrow beside the engine version you’re using and select ‘Verify’. See if the issue persists. If it does, can you try uninstalling and reinstalling the engine version? It is possible that something went wrong in the installation which could be causing these issues. ---

Hi Shadow5455565, Did installing the x86 version of C++ solve the issue for you? It would be useful to have this information to future users who may encounter this problem if so. Otherwise, I’ll be happy to assist you further if needed. ---
