Building from commandline fails - cannot find il2cpp.exe

append delete shess

Windows Version: Windows 10 Enterprise 19045.3324
Builder Version: 3.59
iOS SDK 16.2
Unity 2022.3.6f1

Running the builder is suddenly failing. I don't know what has changed since the last time it was correctly built, the only thing I can really think of is moving from Unity 2022.3.3f1 to 2022.3.6f1 in the last week or so. I was on Builder version 3.57, updated to latest 3.59, still failing with the same error:

il2cpp.exe is present, but that output shows the directory as "Files/" instead of "Program Files/" - though I don't know if that's just an output issue?

Thanks, I appreciate your time!

Hello shess,

I think I guessed what the problem is. Please open build.cmd with your favorite text editor, go to line 1956, and change: 

% build.cmd circa line 1956
	rem // in case we haven't found it, look in %ProgramFiles%\Unity (default Unity install path)
	if "_!IL2CPP!_"=="__" if exist "%ProgramFiles%\Unity\Hub\Editor\!UNITY_RUNTIME_VERSION!\Editor\Data\il2cpp\build\deploy\il2cpp.exe" set IL2CPP="%ProgramFiles%\Unity\Hub\Editor\!UNITY_RUNTIME_VERSION!\Editor\Data\il2cpp\build\deploy\il2cpp.exe"
%

to 

% build.cmd circa line 1956, changed
	rem // in case we haven't found it, look in %ProgramFiles%\Unity (default Unity install path)
	if "_!IL2CPP!_"=="__" if exist "%ProgramFiles%\Unity\Hub\Editor\!UNITY_RUNTIME_VERSION!\Editor\Data\il2cpp\build\deploy\il2cpp.exe" set IL2CPP=%ProgramFiles%\Unity\Hub\Editor\!UNITY_RUNTIME_VERSION!\Editor\Data\il2cpp\build\deploy\il2cpp.exe
%

Notice the quotes removed around the IL2CPP path.

Rebuild and let me know if it fixes your problem.
