ERROR: Unable to find path to the Windows resource compiler under C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10 (version 10.0.18362.0)
VS 2017 installation helped me

I have a cmake that create a project for VS 2019. When I try to compile the code, I am getting that this library is not found:
Error LNK1104 cannot open file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.18362.0\um\x64\Psapi.Lib'
Checking my system, I do not have 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits' directory.
I made sure that during my VS installation, the C++ code development was selected and also I run a repair on installation to ensure that any missing file is installed, but I m still have the same issue.
What other software or library should I install to get this issue fixed?
I have Visual Studio 2022 and installed Win10 SDK 10.0.19041.0 via Visual Studio installer Desktop Development With C++. I am able to find Psapi.lib in directory C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Lib\10.0.19041.0\um\x64. Try installing SDK from page: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive/
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 am unable to use an existing unreal engine 4.19 project on Windows 10 - but my peers can. I keep getting the error:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.13.26128\INCLUDE\cstddef(7): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'stddef.h': No such file or directory
I have an identical visual studio install to my peers, including full Universal CRT and Windows 8.1/10 SDK. The only difference is that this is a fresh machine install; what am I missing?
Got it - Delete the intermediate directory if you've failed the build once. Stores a cache of the VC++ resources in here.
I've tried to generate a new UE4 Project (C++/Third Person) but I always get the following error
The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio?

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 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.
