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.

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.
Let's see now, I had the 4.10 version installed, looked for the .visx file in proper directory, found it, double clicked it, was unable to find a template, so went to the new projects page, went to games, did not find the "install Unreal 4 Game engine" as described, so uninstalled Unreal II, Epic Game Launcher, and Unreal Preinstall stuff, closed everything, rebooted, restarted Community Edition, then found the install link, clicked it, had to quit IDE, retried, clicked next, it then updated everything first, it then downloaded the Unreal Game package, it then did it the usual reconfiguring, I restart the IDE, got new projects, and the template is still not there .... bummer, now I need to re-download the Epic game launcher or reinstall it, I'll have to see if it is my download folder, OK now the launcher I had no longer work, as a newer version has been installed, ... just found the new link in the start folder, clicked it ... Epic is now downloading ...epically ...
