Hello!
I’m trying to build a InstalledEngineBuild for UE 5.5 and getting this error:

Unfortunately it is in German but besically it says that the NuGet.Build.Tasks.dll DLL can’t be loaded because one of its dependencies was not found.
I’m using TeamCity with this build command:

Engine\Build\BatchFiles\RunUAT.bat BuildGraph -target="Make Installed Build Win64" -nosign -script="Engine\Build\InstalledEngineBuild.xml" -set:WithDDC=false -set:SignExecutables=false -set:EmbedSrcSrvInfo=false -set:WithFullDebugInfo=true -set:HostPlatformEditorOnly=false -set:WithWin64=true -set:WithMac=false -set:WithAndroid=true -set:WithIOS=false -set:WithTVOS=false -set:WithLinux=true -set:WithLinuxArm64=true -set:WithHoloLens=false -set:CompileDatasmithPlugins=false -set:WithServer=true -set:WithClient=true

My Visual Studio version is 17.8.16, for the UE 5.3 and 5.4 it worked well, no issues with building.

I have the same issue. I tried to build with MSVC version 17.8, 17.10 and the current latest. All resulted in the same issue. I have cleared the directory and download everything from scratch but doesn’t seems to work either. Would be very interested in a solution to this. Here is the part of my output showing the error:

I finally had some time to investigate this further. It turns out I missed a step in the installed build guide: installing the DotNet 6.0 runtime Windows DotNet 6.0 Runtime. After installing it and restarting the computer, the build succeeded. I hope this helps resolve the issue for someone else.
