General

Unreal Engine 4

Create Project

  • Go into <UNREAL ENGINE PATH>\Engine\Binaries\Win64

  • Sort as Type Sort as Typ.png

  • Run UE4Editor.exe (as Administrator)

  • Create Project

  • set Source Code (Edit->Editor Preferences->Source Code)Set Source Code.png

If you have only one Visual Studio installed its enough to set it to just Visual Studio. If you have two or multiple Visual Studio's installed you have to set it to your desired version.

Open Project

Unreal Engine Source Projects have to be opened in a more unusal way often, i found this method to be working the best. It's Open With->Search for App->UE4Editor.exe.
