When I try to build UE from source (wether it being 4.27 or 5), an error pops up in Visual Studio which prevents the compilation from finishing. The error reads as follows:
|Severity|Code|Description|Project|File|Line|Suppression State|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|Error|MSB3073|The command ..\..\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat -Target=UE4Editor Win64 Development -Target=ShaderCompileWorker Win64 Development -Quiet -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild exited with code 6.|UE4|F:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\Common7\IDE\VC\VCTargets\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets|44||
I tried the following things so far:
Switched from Visual Studio 2017 to 2019 and 2022
Altered the PsAllocator.h in line 40 ("include ")
Removed and moved the extra quotation mark in the Build Command line after “-Quiet”
Removed the “ResonanceAudio” Folder
Deleted the “VisualStudioDTE”
Nothing seems to work so far. Has anyone encountered this issue? Thanks in advance.

I had a similar problem when rebuilding UE5.0.1.
At that time, the following message was displayed in the output.

In my case, I got an error in the following two folders, so I deleted it and rebuilt it successfully.
Engine\Plugins\Runtime\Database\ADOSupport\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UnrealEditor\Development\ADOSupport
Engine\Intermediate\Build\Win64\UnrealEditor\Development\VisualStudioDTE

I looked and there wasn’t a VisualStudioDTE folder in my copy.

Seems like I have a very similar or even the same problem, chipping in to keep the thread up and to be notified when a solution comes up.
I will notify you when I find a solution elsewhere or by myself.

You have a whitespace in your directory structure, remove it and try building again.
Where? maybe im blind sorry. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio" here? can you pinpoint it? sorry =o

This should be fine, I wanted to answer to the other post - there, there is a whitespace in the project directory which can cause issues when building the project from VS.
Well that was not the issue… i still don’t know what was… I had to redo the project from scratch… same code… worked fine… lost some days for nothing probably a bug on VS.
I had this error. Regenerated the project files and it simply wouldn’t work. Upon inspection I found I’d accidently placed the letter “i” right before my comment block at the top which caused the error to be thrown. Fixed the typo and it solved the problem. Strange error to throw for a misplaced letter, but maybe it will help someone in case they made the same mistake.
ohoh! it works! thank you!
Man, I spent hours searching for this exact solution!
Thank you for taking the time to post it
What did you do exactly?!

Bless your heart!
for anyone having this issue on 5.2.1 builds and working on custom shading models/playing with rendering and GBuffer this can happen for some reason.
Delete Engine\Plugins\Runtime\Database\ADOSupport\Intermediate
and run the build and that should fix it.

Dumb freaking error. Nothing works.
