Unreal Engine 4 Basic C++ Code Project giving compile error

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.
