IL2CPP not detected inside the Editor

When I attempt to build the game with IL2CPP, the Editor tells me “currently selected scripting backend (IL2CPP) is not installed”. Even tho it is, according to both Unity Hub and my file system.

Which platform are you targeting?

Windows

Does this file exist in your Unity Installation?

\Data\PlaybackEngines\windowsstandalonesupport\Variations\win64_development_il2cpp\UnityPlayer.dll

That’s how Unity determines whether it is installed.
