Visual Studio 2019 Build Order

[wiggumon]

Hello,

Is there a specific build order that I need to set in Visual Studio for the Bulls - Cow game? Something must have changed somewhere because I am not getting the following two errors when I try to build from VS.

Error Unable to delete C:\Source\Udemy\Unreal\Section 3\BullCowGame\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor-BullCowGame.dll (Access to the path ‘C:\Source\Udemy\Unreal\Section 3\BullCowGame\Binaries\Win64\UE4Editor-BullCowGame.dll’ is denied.) BullCowGame C:\Source\Udemy\Unreal\Section 3\BullCowGame\Intermediate\ProjectFiles\UnrealBuildTool 1

Error MSB3073 The command ““C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.22\Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Rebuild.bat” BullCowGameEditor Win64 Development -Project=“C:\Source\Udemy\Unreal\Section 3\BullCowGame\BullCowGame.uproject” -WaitMutex -FromMsBuild” exited with code -1. BullCowGame C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v160\Microsoft.MakeFile.Targets 49

The first error references not have access to a binary file and the second error is from the UE Rebuild.bat. Should these be flipped? Can they be flipped? I have attached some screen shots of my current build order.

It’s not stopping from moving forward. I can always just compile from UE but I prefer to do debugging from VS. Anyhow, this used to work but something somewhere changed and I can’t seem to find it. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

By the looks of it you’re trying to rebuild whilst having the Unreal project open. Rebuilding requires deleting the compiled binaries which it can’t do if your project is open.

I thought as much, Dan. Even though I am telling UE that Visual Studio 2019 is my editor, it’s UE that builds the binaries and puts a lock on them. Thanks for the input.
