Unreal Engine 4.10 is not creating c++ project

Hello I wanted to create a project in UE4.10 with basic c++ code. But when it comes to create it, UE gives me an error:

The project could not be compiled. Would you like to open it in Visual Studio? Running E:/Program Files (x86)/Epic Games/4.10/Engine/Binaries/DotNET/UnrealBuildTool.exe MyProject Development Win64 -project="C:/Users/allst/Documents/Unreal Projects/MyProject/MyProject.uproject" -rocket -editorrecompile -progress -noubtmakefiles -2015 @progress push 5% Parsing headers for MyProjectEditor Running UnrealHeaderTool "C:/Users/allst/Documents/Unreal Projects/MyProject/MyProject.uproject" "C:\Users\allst\Documents\Unreal Projects\MyProject\Intermediate\Build\Win64\MyProjectEditor\Development\UnrealHeaderTool.manifest" -LogCmds="loginit warning, logexit warning, logdatabase error" -rocket -installed Reflection code generated for MyProjectEditor in 17,8672852 seconds @progress pop Performing 7 actions (2 in parallel) [2/7] Resource PCLaunch.rc E:\Program Files (x86)\Epic Games\4.10\Engine\Source\Runtime\Launch\Resources\Windows\PCLaunch.rc(10) : fatal error RC1015: cannot open include file 'windows.h'.

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:

  1. Completely uninstall visual studio
  2. Use the Extra visual studio uninstall cleaner. Found on github > Microsoft/VisualStudioUninstaller/releases
  3. Delete the remaining Visual Studio installation folder.
  4. Do a restart and this machine should be ready for a clean installation
  5. Download the Visual Studio 2015 installer without any updates: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48146
  6. Now make sure you do a custom installation and deselect update 3!!!
  7. Once the installation is finished you need to generate visual studio project files for your unreal projects.

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.
