[SOLVED] BuildFailedException: Burst compiler (1.1.2) failed running

Hello,
Second time writing this as my first post was deleted as it was in wrong forum, if thats the case again please just move it to the correct forum thanks

Okay so I've made a little script to build my game on certain platforms
I've started on the x64 build but when it builds it comes up saying BuildFailedException: Burst compiler (1.1.2) failed running.

It works using the Unitys build tool but using the BuildPipeline.BuildPlayer it doesn't

Things I've tried

Reinstalling Visual Studio 2019
Updating the brust compiler (Should be the up to date one)
Changing build platform x64 x86

Code (CSharp):

1. BuildFailedException: Burst compiler (1.1.2) failed running

Same issue here, although using the regular "build and run" process. Same callstack.

fail in both 2019.1.10f1 and 2019.3.0a10

Got the same problem. Seen some people fixing it by reinstalling the Unity with Visual Studio component sellected in the installator, but haven't tried it myself. Still we can all agree that by having all of the required components it should pretty much just work™.

 

You know when they say "the user is the issue"...
Finally solved it.

I was trying to find the problem on Unity's side, checking module and everything, however when re-reading the error message it occured to me that VS was only setup for C# (because why wouldn't it be if you're only working with unity) -- and so (as clearly written black on white in the log), I was actually missing VS C++ compiler (Win 10 plateform should come with C# by default, although check your setup because you need it too)

Here's how to add it :



Needless to say, editor stopped complaining and Burst compiles fine. Duh.

 

Haha, yeah. I actually figured this out on the day I posted it, but couldn't delete the post.
Thanks though

 

Wow. Here the Desktop development with C++ was ticked in the Visual Studio Installer, and burst compilation still didn't work. It had to be unticked and ticked again, then it apparently found some missing components and reinstalled them.

Thanks for the tip @Nebukam!

 

Unity - Window - package Manager - advanced - reset packages to default fixed it for me.

 

Thank you, that was perfect.

Have a wonderful week

 

NEVER delete posts anyway! This was useful to me today! Thank you @tommohawkaction and @Nebukam

 

Thanks @tommohawkaction and @Nebukam. After installing the "Desktop development with C++" workload I still couldn't build - and figured I also needed the "Universal Windows Platform development" workload in order to get the Windows 10 SDK. But after installing that it still didn't work. Then I realized what was going on. Besides Visual Studio 2017 (which is where these workloads were installed) I also had a barebones version of VS 2019 installed (without the workloads). After uninstalling VS 2019 I was able to build. So it must have had to do with the "Unable to determine tools version of MSVC Linker" error. It must have been looking under the VS2019 installation and not finding the C++ compiler.

Wanted to share this in case it helps anyone else out there!

 

Hey
The same thing happened to me and I just deleted VS2017 file that was empty; the editor tried to catch VS 2017 that was existed file but empty ,
So I deleted VS 2017 file

Then that 4 error gone!

 

Confirmed solution for 2019.3.0f6

 

Hello guys i am new developen and developing a fps game with the tutorial of Brackeys on youtube i Followed it correctly. Then Brackeys says to build it for some trial he built it with no errors , But in mine i have this errors
unity Burst failed (1.1.1)
please save me guys
and yes this error is clearable

 

This error can come from not having Visual Studio Community installed.
I am a full time enterprise developer, and I develop in Visual Studio Enterprise. I didn't think I needed Community. I was updating my version to the new LTS version of Unity and I saw that it offered to let you download Community edition. So, I thought, huh...could that be the problem. So I agreed to install...and tested it right away. It built, no problemo.
Make sure you have Community if you are using Burst in Unity, which you probably want to be using if you are using Unity's 2DAnimation tools extensively.

 

This worked Perfectly.. Thanks

 

Nebukam's solution didn't work for me - I already C++ installed in VS2019.

Sab_Rango's solution of deleting the empty 2017 folder DID work! What a ridiculous bug!!!

 

If you don't want to use Burst Compilation. Go to Windows>Package Manager>Advanced Project Settings>Burst AOT Settings>Disable Burst Compilation.. Tick that and Errors will be gone

 

i tried all above, not work, the solution was just update it from package manager from 1.1.1 to +1.3 , it solve the problem.

 

i know im like 2 years late but man THANK YOU!

 

HI! I'm getting the same problem on Mac... except it is 1.2.3 build compiler

 

Thanks from 2021 this S*** saved me 30 mins from submission papa bless

 

That along with making sure the installer was updated to the latest version fixed it for me.

 

Upgrading to burst 1.3+ in package manager solved my issue!

 

For me Unity was searching for VS 2019, had to install that for it to work.

 

Thanks .It helped me

 

I have to the same problem

 

I can't pass the Burstv1.6.5 compiler error ( trying to build export my project from Unity 2021.3.2f1 to Visual Studio 2022 UWP ).
I have installed all the addons of Visual Studio 2022. The project works fine on the Unity editor. In my case the Burst package is a dependency of the Universal RP package. So whenever I install Universal RP package (which I have to ) , I cannot build export the project anymore.

Below I have attached the error output, I appreciate your help, really stuck here.

 

Perfect work

 

Add the C++ build tools for your target, they are included for X86/X64 if you select C++ desktop development in Visual Installer, or you can select them as individual components (i.e. for ARM32/ARM64)

 

@ra

Totally saved my life. I tested all the things before, but somehow was completely blind for the "Individual Components".

Depending on your set-up, the right components will not be in the tool sets proposed from Visual Studio installer.

You have to manually add the Components in Individual Components, for example If you wanted to build with VS Community 2019, Unity 2021.3.4 for HoloLens2 bzw. ARM64

 

Thanks to all the people who have previously dedicated time and effort to find a solution.
In case it still happens to someone and has tried everything above without results.
I am on Unity version 2021.3.23f1 and I only got the error when using the IWorldAI library https://inworld.ai/
When I looked at the logs in Jobs > Burst > Open Inspector I saw that I had an error in the Newtonsoft's library.
I reinstalled it and it worked without problems.

https://rehtse-studio.medium.com/ma...ft's Json.NET Package,json press Add and done

I hope I've helped.

 

had VS Community 2019 and 2022 installed. Had to uninstall 2022 and this fixed the error

 

It worked for me! Thank you
