Cooking 32-bit Windows version with VS2017

Development Pipeline & Plugins
, , , ,
1
  1. Install Visual Studio 2017 with default parameters (development classic applications).
  2. Try to cook win32 version of any project (win64 version works fine)
  3. Got a message: “ERROR: UBT ERROR: Failed to produce item ‘some.exe’”
  4. Change VS2017 by adding “Tools VC++ 2015.3 v140 (x86, x64)”
  5. All works fine. :slight_smile:

Hope you can fix this bug in future releases.

The same error:

Crossposting from my question:

If the above solution doesn’t fix it, try this as well:

Step 1:

  • Try going to Packaging Settings (File → Package Project → Packaging Settings).
  • Under “Project”, enable “Full rebuild”
  • Try to package for Win32.

If it is not working again, step 2:

  • Go again on Packaging Settings,
  • Enable “For Distribution”
  • Realise that it won’t let you choose “Debug” or “Development” modes on “Build Configuration” again, unless you uncheck it
  • Try building again

Hi! Thank you for the answer. Not working both solutions. I can’t even build my project with configurations: Development-Win32 or Shipping-Win32. The only way for me is installing “Tools VC++ 2015.3 v140 toolset (x86, x64)” :frowning:

I’m not sure which of all the above helped me in my case (did them altogether), just thought that I should leave this here too in case someone has problems -even with your solution- since your post came up first on my google search.

Epic Games should try to resolve this problem on 4.16…

I hope so, too.
