vs*,sorry.

22

Which version of Visual Studio are you using?

These are ok from my understanding
VS2013
VS2013 Express
Maybe VS2010 version with Express

VS2015 Doesn’t work I believe.

Another Thing to look at is the Build, Are you building in Win32 or Win64, I think the engine is precomiled into Win64, please correct me if this is incorrect.

23

i use vs 2013 express and community(i can’t uninstall community) and Win64

24

now on visual studio i can’t create any c++ project,too.

25

Do you mean that you are unable to compile in visual studio even when attempting to create something that isn’t related to UE4?

26

i can’t create

27

i can’t create anything on vs , when i try to create a non ue project too

28

Wow… ))))))))))))))))))))))

29

does ue use the VS120COMNTOOLS to find the path of the cl.exe file?
BEcause i modified it but the same result, now i’ll try to copy the cl.exe file that i found on the vs11 path to the vs13 path

fixed up, but new error , it can’t compile my project ; The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

Hi Shadow5455565,

From looking at the error that you provided, it seems that there is a problem with your Windows SDK, either it is missing or it is corrupt in some way. Please refer to the following page from our wiki to solve this issue.

Hope this helps!

33

Thank you, I just discovered the missing file, cl.exe in VisualStudio13/VC/bin/amd64/cl.exe

34

New error,but i installed the sdk

It seems as though the main problem that you’re experiencing is that the compiler is having issues attempting to include the file “windows.h”. Information about that error can be found here:

the 2013 version of vs doesn’t work , but the 2015 works very well, does the 4.9.1 engine version work on vs2015 express edition?

37

As of now, Visual Studio 2015 support is still considered to be experimental and isn’t recommended for development use. If you do wish to use 2015, I would recommend using a source version of the engine downloaded from GitHub to do this and follow the steps listed here:
