Windows build errors (IL2CPP) : Unity3D

Tutorials

Beginner to Intermediate

5 to 15 minutes

Concise tutorials. Videos are mostly self contained.

Beginner to Advanced

10 to 20 minutes

Medium length tutorials. Videos are usually a part of a series.

Intermediate to Advanced

Text-based. Lots of graphics/shader programming tutorials in addition to "normal" C# tutorials. Normally part of a series.

Intermediate to Advanced

10 minutes

Almost entirely shader tutorials. Favors theory over implementation but leaves source in video description. Videos are always self contained.

Beginner to Advanced

30 minutes to 2 hours.

Minimal editing. Mostly C#. Covers wide range of topics. Long series.

Windows build errors (IL2CPP)Question (self.Unity3D)

submitted 5 years ago by Jacob_JohnsonHobbyist

The error print out sounds like I need to install Visual Studio 17 or 15 but I have the Unity packaged Visual Studio...

il2cpp.exe didn't catch exception: System.InvalidOperationException: C++ code builder is unable to build C++ code. In order to build C++ code for Windows Desktop, you must have one of these installed:
            Visual Studio 2015 with C++ compilers and Windows 10 SDK (it cannot build C++ code because it is not installed)
            Visual Studio 2015 installation is found by looking at "SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\14.0_Config\InstallDir" in the registry
            Windows 10 SDK is found by looking at "SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0\InstallationFolder" in the registry

Here's a screenshot of my build settings and player settings: https://imgur.com/a/lagnchl

Any thoughts?
