I downloaded UE 4.26 sources from official Epic Games github and successfully compile it using Visual Studio 17 following instructions from github.
But after I made some changes to engine file EngineTypes.h I got this compilation errors:
Error MSB3073 The command "..\..\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat -Target="UE4Editor Win64 Development" -Target="ShaderCompileWorker Win64 Development -Quiet" -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild" exited with code 6
Error D8049 cannot execute 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.16.27023\bin\HostX64\x64\c1xx.dll': command line is too long to fit in debug record UE4 UnrealEngine\Engine\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\cl
Also I reset all my changes, but the compilation error is still exist.
Interesting that this command from separate terminal works fine, without errors. But seems to recompile all files again, not just the ones that have changed:
Build.bat -Target="UE4Editor Win64 Development" -Target="ShaderCompileWorker Win64 Development -Quiet" -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild

I'm trying to set up UE4.26.2 source version but haven't been successful. I have cloned the repo from github, ran Setup and GenerateProjectFiles without errors, set development editor and x64 in Visual studio 2019 and built it without errors but when I try to run the UE I always get the same two errors:

I have tried various different combinations of VS components, I have installed .net Desktop dev, desktop dev with c++ and game dev with c++. I am using .NET Framework 4.8 SDK with all the previous 4.x targeting packs. I have tried deleting certain content from the Win64 folder and other files which I can't recall, but after I run the UE4 it always builds them again so the errors persist.
I solved the issue. My avast antivirus put the "UE4Editor.exe" into quarantine, then I restored it and compiled and voila, it works
I have been having this a problem when loading up a "Basic C++ Code Project" and have had absolutely no success due to lack of information.
The error is as follows:

If there is any more information relating to this problem I am happy to provide it.
There could be something wrong with your installation of visual studio. Check your Visual Studio installer and ensure that the Game development with C++ workload is ticked. I typically also install the .NET Framework 4.6.2 SDK and targeting pack under the individual components list.
In your case it seems to be looking for Visual Studio 2017, so try the steps above with 2017 first.
I had similar problem after my pc shutdown
after backing up everything I removed all folders except source, content and config than generated virtual studio files using .uproject
problem solved :)
I figured out the issue. It didn't like using UE 4.22.3 for some reason...
Thanks for the help guys!
I've tried to generate a new UE4 Project (C++/Third Person) but I always get the following error

How can I fix this error?
I know this is an old question, but I thought I'd toss in my answer for anyone who stumbles across it.
You might be experiencing the same issue I had, that is, I was missing the UCRT SDK. When you are Modifying your VS install from the Visual Studio Installer, be sure you install the Windows Universal CRT SDK along with which ever version of Windows SDK you are using. In my case, I only had Windows 8.1 SDK component and was receiving the same error.
Once you have the Windows Universal CRT SDK installed, try making a new project with the same settings. Your old projects will not build for what I assume is a problem with the solution properties not including the new ucrt include path.
I would like to perform the following:
Build a instrumented PGO exe using MSVS 2015 IDE
Copy the generated exe along with its .pgd file to several other machines
Run the exe from the command line on those machines. Note these machines do not have the MSVS compiler on them.
Currently, I can only run the exe on the machine that I compiled it on and only through the IDE option Build->Profile Guided Optimization->Run Instrumented/Optimized Application. If I try to run it through the command line (on any of the machines), I get the following error:
The application was unable to start correctly (0xc00007b)
Could someone please let me know if what I am trying to do is possible and the steps to make it work if it is? Thanks.
To get the PGO instrumented version to run on the remote machines, I had to install the MSVS 2015 redistributable package as well as use the correct pgort140.dll. On my local machine I had the following versions:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\pgort140.dll (49 KB)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\amd64\pgort140.dll (55 KB)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin\arm\pgort140.dll (49 KB)
The one from \bin was causing the error to occur. I had to use the dll from \bin\amd64 to get my exe to run, so I copied this version to my remote machines.

I had VS 2013 pro, but I was asked to install VS 2015 community, what I have done, but problem is still persisting. Have you any ideas what should be done now? I will be gratefull for any advice. Have a nice day!
Please verify that "Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015" was selected when installing Visual Studio 2015. It will not automatically install, you need to do a custom install for that.
It appear to be a known problem while running Unreal Engine prior to 4.12.5 with Visual Studio Community 2015 with Update 3.
Assuming that you already have Common Tools for Visual C++ 2015 installed.
You can check if you are running VS2015 with Update 3 by going to:
Visual Studio 2015 > Help > About Microsoft Visual Studio
Solution 1: Update Unreal Engine > 4.12.5
Updating your Unreal Engine to version above 4.12.5
Go to
Epic Game launcher > Unreal Engine > Library > Engine Version to update the engine.
Solution 2: Resintall VS2015 without Update 3
Follow the instruction from Infected_Post here.
Below is what he has posted:
Completely uninstall visual studio
Use the Extra visual studio uninstall cleaner. Found on
github > Microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller/releases
Delete the remaining Visual Studio installation folder.
Do a restart and this machine should be ready for a clean installation
Download the Visual Studio 2015 installer without any updates: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48146
Now make sure you do a custom installation and deselect update 3!!!
Once the installation is finished you need to generate visual studio project files for your unreal projects.
