Incredibuild doesn't work

Hello everyone! I just installed Incredibuild and got this when trying to compile Error — ImgBB
So, how do I fix this?

Hello,

My name is Yoni Davidson and I am from IncrediBuild support team.
When you have IncrediBuild and you want to build UE, in Visual Studio you dont need to start the build from IncrediBuild menu. Start the build using the regular Visual Studio “Build” menu and after a few seconds, you will see that IncrediBuild is being triggered.
If this is how you started the build (using VS Build menu) then it is possible that UE cant find IncrediBuild files since in our recent versions we changed the default IncrediBuild installation folder and UE still looks in the old default folder.
Please try the following:

  1. Uninstall IncrediBuild. If you installed it using VS installer, remove it from Visual Studio “Tools” → “Extensions and Updates” menu.
  2. Install IncrediBuild and specify the following installation folder: “c:\Program Files (x86)\Xoreax\IncrediBuild”

If the above wont help, I will be happy to assist through our support portal. Please open a ticket by either right clicking on IncrediBuild tray icon → contact support or by emailing to support@incredibuild.com

Hi Robert,

Epic games has integrated IncrediBuild in order to accelerate the build of UE3 and UE4. This was done many years ago. It means that they fully trust us and many game developers highly benefits from IncrediBuild. It is possible that due to environmental issues, you will have some problems (just like with any other software). It is a bit harsh to declare that IncrediBuild is a virus and a form of cyber attack on US…actually, its funny :slight_smile:
Anyway, you can always uninstall IncrediBuild from your machine or open a support ticket so we can properly help you out: support@incredibuild.com

You can also instruct UE not to use IncrediBuild since the default behavior, as was designed by Epic, is to use IncrediBuild.
UE Solution has the BuildConfiguration.xml with the following settings:
true
false

Just change the following line to be:
false

Hope it helps!

PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO GET RID OF INCREDIBUILD (AND SO THAT UE4 DOES NOT COMPLAIN AND ERROR OUT WHEN BUILDING,. )?!?!?

It (even with an enabled License) CAN’T EVEN BUILD A NEAR-BLANK UE4 PROJECT with a Plane a Camera and a light. IT EVEN GAVE ERRORS AND STOPPED THE BUILD OF A 100% BLANK PROJECT,. (Not mention the years of complex builds I have attempted and been told Incredibuild encountered errors…)

I HAVE I NEVER HAD A SINGLE SUCCESSFUL BUILD IN UNREAL 4 (I’m FINE in Unity!! :slight_smile: in 2 years of trying, because every time I try to build ANYTHING it says INCREDIBUILD ERROR in the LOGS.
EVEN WITH A LICENSE.
Even though I did not install it, or want it, or ever HEARD OF IT… IT IS KILLING MY CAREER…

I now am HONESTLY starting to believe ‘INCREDIBUILD’ is a VIRUS and a form of CYBER ATTACK on US Economy and Developers.

It is just here on my machine! i never heard of it (except to come to battle with it ) I never installed it,. I am assuming it installed with UE4 but WHY They would install something that DESTROYS ones ability to FINISH ANYTHING EVER<. I have no idea,… I can’t believe I did all this work and I am being stopped by an alleged ‘efficiency’ tool.

I’m a LITTLE BIT KIDDING,./ Tongue in cheek here,… BUT: The end result is, Every build I have tried for YEARS has given INCREDIBUILD Errors, If that isn’t TERRORIZING I don’t know what is! EVEN AFTER TODAY I GET A LICENSE I NEVER KNEW I NEEDED!!!
I load this ‘configurator’ thing I don’t want and it says License Enabled (30 days to go) … THEN STOPS MY BUILD AS THE ONLY ERROR IN A TRIPLE A LEVEL GAME. (AND ALSO ON A BLANK PROJECT)

I ASK YOU HERE IN THIS OLD QUESTION, SO i DON’T HAVE TO MAKE A NEW ‘TOPIC’ AND EMBARRASS YOUR COMPANY WITH MY (LIKELY) MISUNDERSTANDING)

THIS WAY MAYBE WE CAN IN THE BACKGROUND AND NOT CALL ATTENTION TO HOW annoying YOUR TOOL CAN BE TO AN ARTIST ///

help??

Well, I was a bit surprised by your first post but as you said, I am forgiving and in a good mood today :slight_smile:
I wish I could help you more with the question you posted but I am not familiar with UE configuration (only IncrediBuild). I do hope that somebody will be able to answer you.

WOW, Fast response! Thank you,… (I was being a bit tongue in cheek I hope i mentoned that!)
I have discovered that I can build in OTHER versions of UE4. (Murphys Law) which makes me think that there is some, (incredi-build lite?) thing that is installed with UE4 and I must have messed it up either by installing or checking plugins OR I seem to remember something asking to ‘update Incredibuild and clicked through rigth after that I remember I discovered I could not build. Then got errors like ‘Missing UE4Game binary’ -None of this is intuitive or Artist friendly. I believe that directly is why there are so many … marginal games on Steam,. I have worked in 3d Studio since release 1 for DOS, I worked on FX in films such as LIFE of Pi; I worked at Warner Bros, Praxis Filmworks, Accent Media, Activision, ++ I bring 27 years of experience as a Character Animator to the table and to ‘Unreal’, But I always feel like i’m DROWNING in one problem after another that I NEVER remember anything like that in 3ds Max. our motto is: "There are 100 ways to do ANYTHING in 3D Studio’', my motto for Unreal would be more like: “Once you get lucky and find the right random balance, you might get lucky and be able to build!”
Sorry, I don’t mean to impugn the honour of Incredi-Build. I certainly appreciate the help that distributed rendering offers, as far as I know for now, i uninstalled it?? I have no idea,. It is just too much to make a vast world and then have to deal with this, ALCHEMY; Not your fault personally though and I appreciate the response!

You seem very nice (and forgiving,.) can I ask if you would maybe help me with JUST ONE UE4 THING that would set me up with mucho time working quietly? My question here: I’ve asked at all the forums site (and the Dedicated VR Editor ghosttown/forum) :~)
