Question Installing Visual Studio 2022 with IL2CPP support on Unity

Hi. I'm not able to make builds on Unity anymore when I uninstalled Visual Studio 2019. I only left 2022 which was working perfectly and suddently my IL2CPP builds don't work.

Of course, the IL2CPP module is added to Unity (using 2022.1.201f)

I get an error message saying that it doesn't find any compatible VS version to compile. That I haven't the C++ building tools and Windows 10 SDK (???) I never had to install that. I added those modules using the "Visual Studio Installer" app that comes with the installation of any VS version. But it still tells me the same thing. I ended up adding the Windows Platform modules but still no luck.

But I'm not sure EXACTLY which modules I have to install. I have Windows Platform modules, I have C++ tools for Desktop... but Windows SDK is not added by default, so I added that too... I ended up adding more than I needed and the build didn't show any errors but I got a lot of C++ compile errors (internal of the libraries). Thinking that maybe the versions are not correct or compatible?

I have friends who have VS2019 installed and 2022 too, and they have some module additions to 2019 and then others in 2022.

 

Is this related? https://forum.unity.com/threads/il2cpp-error-on-building-for-windows.1351589/#post-8553056

 

It is related and theres a solution at the end, but still wondering WHICH modules on VS i have to install to make it choose 2022 as a valid version of Visual Studio.

 

I checked and, at least for VS2022, it's not necessary to install Windows Platform module. (the one on the right).
You save a bunch of Gbs if you remove that ;-)
