When trying to build a version 4.25 engine, this error is issued:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Error MSB4018 The “SetEnv” task failed unexpectedly.
System.ArgumentException: Environment variable name or value is too long.

How can this be solved?

Solved. Simply deleted the paths to the inclusions, since there were strange paths in them.

Interesting finding, I had the same problem on “promoted” branch and switched to another.

thank you for sharing, it should be helpful to know where to look for next errors.
what branch are you using for source build?
