[ERROR] No eligible platforms supported for visual studio solution generation HELP!

Hi,

Over the weekend I have updated to the latest Ly version. I am unable to launch the Editor because of this same error

[ERROR] No eligible platforms supported for visual studio solution generation

I have also all the required SDKs installed.

My setup is using VS2013

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm looking into this one for you both.

Also seeing this error as well.

I received it last night when installing 1.7.0.1.

I have now tried 1.8.0.0 today and I'm still seeing the same error.

Let me know if you need me to provide logs or anything @REDACTEDUSER

Couple of things to try:

Make sure you have the "certificates" folder, if you do not, create it: //dev/multiplayersample/ – just create a folder called "certificates"

Secondly make sure you have run the setup and VS 2013 is properly installed.

Let me know if either of these help.

Hi,

I have encountered the same problem last week after reinstalling Windows, VS2015 and VS2017 on my PC. After some investigation, I discovered that the error message "Unable to detect find the C++ compiler for Visual Studio 2015" was somewhat misleading - it's mt.exe (signing tool, part of Windows SDK) that could not be found, not the compiler. To verify if this is indeed the problem, you can check the contents of C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64. There should be ~160 items in that folder, including mt.exe. If there's only 3 (ucrt, XamlDiagnostics directories, and GenXBF.dll), then the required version of Windows SDK is indeed missing. Alternatively, modify dev\Code\Tools\waf-1.7.13\lmbrwaflib\mscv_helper.py by replacing all occurrences of silent_output=True with silent_output=False, and run lmbr_waf.bat configure again - you should get an output similar to this:

In order to fix this, you will need to modify your VS2015 installation, and make sure that Windows 10 SDK (10.0.14393) is installed (it's under "Universal Windows App Development Tools", not selected by default):

Note: You may have already installed a newer version of Windows 10 SDK (i.e. 10.1.15063.137), like I did - you still need to follow the instructions above in order to fix the issue. The reason for it is that the newer versions of Windows 10 SDK appear to be installed in a version-specific directory (i.e. C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.15063.0). The newer versions of Visual Studio are aware of these new locations, whereas VS2015 does not seem to be. To verify it, locate vcvarsall.bat (in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC for VS2015 and C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build for VS2017), open a new command prompt, then run:

vcvarsall.bat x64
echo %PATH%

The output for VS2015 will contain contain these two paths (among others):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x86

Whereas the VS2017 output contains:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64 C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.14393.0\x64

WAF build system uses vcvarsall.bat to locate the appropriate VS tools for each build configuration.

Kind feature request for our friends at Amazon: It would be nice if Setup Assistant checked if VS C++ tools and Windows SDK are installed. It would also be nice to have "verbose" lmbr_waf.bat command line option that enables detailed logging, so that it is not necessary to modify WAF Python files for troubleshooting.

Thanks for the detailed response and help @REDACTEDUSER
