UE4.27Plus Installed Build Problem while Building

yoshihiro_sonoda · June 8, 2023, 4:19pm

When I try to build UE4.27Plus, around HoloLens.Automation.csproj the error occurs.
though I set off HoloLens option.

Does anybody have the same problem and solved it in the past?
The best way I think is to skip this process because it is needless.

I’ve been having this issue for the last 2 weeks and have just figured it out… You need Windows 11 SDK; they did something after the github disruption. Hope this helps you.
Cheers!

PetezahUnity · September 20, 2023, 3:21pm

I had to uninstall all of my Windows 11 SDKs to even build UE 4.27-plus (as of 9/19/2023 at least). It seemed like everyone on these forums was saying that it would not build with greater than Windows SDK 19041. How did you get it to build with the Windows 11 SDK? (I would love to be able to reinstall those SDKs)

As for this HoloLens issue, since I don’t need HoloLens support, I just added

#define __MonoCS__

to the top of HoloLensPlatform.Automation.cs to make the build happy. I’m confident that it won’t actually call these classes, since I am not building for this target, and it seems to work.

PRESSURE2000 · September 24, 2023, 3:05pm

what do you mean you just added? just added WHERE?

I mean, can someone from epic step in, I am also having errors and I dont know if we need SDK 11, is this true?

What about other people who were running older versions, did something happen where everyone needs to update?

ok I installed the 11 SDK and now it works

https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2237387

but I dont understand what about my other UE4 build that does not have this SDK will it break if I go from machine to machine???

Almax27 · September 29, 2023, 9:46pm

Been doing the SDK dance for a few hours try to work this out, didn’t even occur to me the missing classes would be in the Win11 SDK.

Thankyou! <3

thebenjiman · August 7, 2024, 4:40pm

the define trick worked for me, thanks @PetezahUnity

bene-hg · August 13, 2024, 1:09pm

The problem was that the wrong sdk was set in the registry and in my case it wasn’t updated by installing a new sdk.
You can open the HoloLens.Automation.csproj and look for MonoCS (line:56). There is a entry where the sdk is set ‘Registry:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0@’(line:63). It was set to a verion that no longer exists. I changed the version to an existing version.

Thank you.

I encountered this error when building a fork of UE4.26 designed for Carla. Adding this line to the top of the file fixed it.
