UnrealBuildTool Exception ERROR Visual Studio 2012

Hello,

Here are some points you have to follow if you want to resolve this problem.

Access the UnrealEngine > Engine > Source > Programs > UnrealBuildTool > Windows > UEBuildWindows.cs

There will be line showing WindowsCompiler.VisualStudio 2013 but you have to change it to WindowsCompiler.VisualStudio 2012;

Now again run the GenerateProjectFiles.bat and it must work properly.

Regards,
