Visual Studio 2015 template

There is no template for a game after intalling Unreal Engine from Visual Studio 2015. The plugin simple install "Epic Games Launcher".

You should run "Epic Games Launcher", then sign up or log in, then choose "Unreal Engine / Library / Engine Versions / Add Versions", then click install.

After installing Unreal Engine click choose "Unreal Engine / Launch / New Project / C++ / Basic Code / Create project.

Visual Studio 2015 Unreal Engine errors

• Warning: Don't modify EU4 project.

• Warning: choose Win64 instead of Win32 for ProgrQuickStartEditor compilation.

Win32 is not a supported platform for ProgrQuickStartEditor. Valid platforms are Win64, Mac, Linux.

• Warning: After creating an Unreal Engine project you may face errors like:
  • "fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'windows.h' "
  • "fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'new': No such file or directory".

To fix it open your project (not EU4 project) properties/VC++ Directories.

If you see empty fileds like "Include Directories", "Library Directories" then click on the combo box on the right side and choose "inherit from parent or project defaults".

Then compile the project again.

Hey Guys, i've recently downloaded the zip file and followed the instructions upto running GenerateProjectFiles.bat.
Im currently running community version of VS2017 which is a total new layout for installation, I installed the basic set of VB and C# with the extra MFC and ATL support but not the full C++ dev package.

I was wondering if anyone has used and got working with this version as yet.
