Cannot build with ILC2PP in 2019.1.8f1

Unity Engine
1

I’m getting the following issue when trying to make a Il2CPP windows desktop build. I have re-installed both unity and visual studio 2017 pro, first with a basic installation and later with everything installed so as to ensure any SDK’s are not missing. When I installed Unity I made sure to add the Android package (saw it mentioned elsewhere that IL2CPP require the ndk, not sure why) as well which then downloaded and installed the sdks and ndks

Any help would be great as this is happening on all projects and stopping me from making builds.

Thanks

is this a ARFoundation application?

3

No it’s a VR game

4

Sorry, are you receiving an error, what is stopping you?

5

Yes I am receiving an error. It’s in the first post in the spoiler section. It’s related to not being able to find assert.h but the file exists

6

Sorry about that, missed the error. Does it also happen on a new/empty project?

7

I will check that tomorrow but it happens on two separate existing projects.

If it helps I had visual studio 2019 and 2017 installed side by side and uninstalled 2019 recently, however I have also reinstalled vs 2017 since removing 2019 but it hasn’t resolved the issue, nor has reinstalling unity.

Thanks

I have just checked and it fails in a new project as well with the same error

It looks like the error that matters is:

Cannot open include file: ‘assert.h’: No such file or directory

It seems you are building a Window Standalone player, so the Android SDK and NDK won’t matter for this build. This error usually means you need to install the Visual Studio C++ workload. Can you use the Visual Studio installer to make sure the C++ packages for desktop builds in Visual Studio are installed?

Yeah it was a longshot with the SDK and NDK, but I saw it mentioned in another post with a similar issue.

In regards to my VS installation I am pretty sure I have everything setup correctly, see the attached screenshots.

Thanks for your help

That does look like a proper Visual Studio installation. @Tautvydas-Zilys do you have any idea what might be the problem here?

12

I’m having the same issues with an ARFoundation app. I’ve spent 2 days trying to get this published…

13

Looks like your Windows Registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0\ProductVersion) claims you have SDK version 18362 installed, but it is actually missing from your machine at “C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.18362.0”. You have two options:

  1. Change the registry key to point to an installed SDK version (like 10.0.17763)
  2. Install Windows SDK 10.0.18362 from https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/sdk-archive

Oh fantastic. I will give that a try in the morning.

Thanks

I have just tested this morning and its all working perfectly. Thanks for all your help. Really appreciate it :slight_smile:

Glad I could help!
