Usually when you get this error, there is an issue with C++.

how can i fix this sir

Well, without a log file or output from the compiler, there’s not much that can be done. I Think there is a log written inside the saved folder. However, saying that, if the setup was followed exactly, this should work. I would suggest creating a new project that is a C++ project, third party player for example, and see if that builds correctly.

check this sir

You haven’t followed the correct C++ configuration

now what should i do coz i am begginer

There’s a video showing this in the course. You need to follow this.

for this problem there is no video
there is one video for help they cannot expalin this issue

The error is a result of not installing Visual Studio Community correctly. This is definitely covered in the course. It is a single video. If you forget to check the correct Windows SDK, it will fail.

Just FYI, Visual Studio 2019 and 2022 will not work in this version of Unreal Engine.

i have installed vs 2019

That is not compatible. you need to use the version in the video OR use unreal engine 4.26/4.27

can i update it directly from epic games

Via the epic games Launcher.


no option

Click on the library tab, In this section there is Engine Versions with a Yellow/Black Plus.

Click this and a panel will show and there is a drop-down. It will default to 5.3 if you don’t have it installed, or the next newest version.

From there, you can pick the exact version you want.

Once installed, on the main window, click the downward arrow next to the version (in the screenshot you shared) and you can pick the version of Unreal Engine you wish to Launch.


only they add these two version the + sign disable now i cant add more versions
