When I try to build my android project using IL2CPP scripting backend the build stop at stripping assemblies and fails and give me this error this also happens with an empty project. And I get the errors below:-

I am running into a similar problem. UnityLinker.exe will actually crash when compressing the build.

Details:

  • Unity 2019.4.6
  • .Net 4.8 installed
  • Win8.1

The error:

This looks similar to this - https://issuetracker.unity3d.com/issues/il2cpp-webgl-slash-il2cpp-builds-fail-when-machine-doesnt-have-net-4-dot-7-2-pre-installed

A longshot, but try installing https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/thank-you/net472-web-installer
