I have been working on a game for some time now. I would like to see what it looks like in a stand-alone exe, but i keep getting errors. i have installed microsoft visual developer 15. I at least followed the instructions to do so. I have no idea if i did it right or not.
here is a copy of the log that shows the errors.

Project.Build: ********** BUILD COMMAND STARTED **********

hello, i’m not an expert, but your log says this



MainFrameActions: Packaging (Windows (64-bit)): Program.Main: ERROR: Exception in AutomationUtils.Automation: You are attempting to compile on a machine that does not have a supported compiler!

i’m only guessing here, but you have installed visual studio with all the c++ files ? if this answer is yes, maybe you need to fix some paths in the .bat files or try to add the vc++ folder to the path variable in the system properties.

Hello.

I experienced a “You are attempting to compile on a machine that does not have a supported compiler!” issue some time ago. Eventually I discovered it was my anti-virus software interfering with build process. I would recommend you to turn OFF your anti-virus, turn ON windows defender to have at least minimal defense, and then try to build again.
