Hi @Ahmobaby,
There should be more info with the error message. Please provide the additional information such as was it related to the tool chain not being installed correctly.
there is nothing more in the error message unfortunately,Thats literally all. When i click "Copy the error message thats wat it sais:
An error occurred while trying to generate project files.
Running C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.5/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/Build.bat -projectfiles -project=“C:/voidka/MyProject/MyProject.uproject” -game -rocket -progress
My apologies. I’ve never seen it not show a more detailed error.
Could you check in the Unreal Build Tools folder for a log? It should be C:/Users/voidka/AppData/Local/UnrealBuildTool/Log_GPF.txt
Alternatively if you manually run the command
in cmd it should show you where it creates the log file and maybe more details about the error.
are these should be created after creating a project? (my project isnt bein built after this error)?cauz couldnt find the it anywhere. Also “voidka” folder isnt in the Users folder, its in C:\voidka path . could that be the problem lol? i havent seen anyone else havin the same error as me…
This can be run after creating the project.
When you run this command in cmd what does it say?
C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.5/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/B uild.bat -projectfiles - project="C:/voidka/MyProject/MyProject. uproject" -game -rocket -progress
first of all i cant create a project, thats the problem when i try to create one i got the error i mentioned. but when i run this command it sais:
‘C:/Program’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
You need to run the command with the parentheses “” if there is a space in the directory.
"C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.5/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/ Build.bat" -projectfiles - project="C:/voidka/MyProject/MyProject. uproject" -game -rocket -progress
This command is run after your project has been created, what happens if you just open the uproject file? Does it give this error or another one.
just deleted the ue 5.5.4 version and installed 5.1.1 version instead and it worked. ı just created a new project. have no ide why i couldnt create a project with ue 5.5.4 idk tho thanks for your time!!
ı thought ı created the project with c++ but it turns out ı accidentaly created with blueprint. does that makes any sense? i can create with blueprint but not with c++. I got the same error with ue 5.1.1 when ı tried to create a project with c++… ımma cry fr
adn btw i run the command
“C:/Program Files/Epic Games/UE_5.5/Engine/Build/BatchFiles/ Build.bat”
and it sais in cmd:
Running UnrealBuildTool: dotnet “....\Engine\Binaries\DotNET\UnrealBuildTool\UnrealBuildTool.dll”
