创建已安装构建

For more general instructions on how to create an Installed Build, refer to the Installed Build Reference Guide. This page provides additional information and steps for developers using Windows.

• A source code build of Unreal Engine.

• Windows DotNet 6.0 Runtime.

• Windows Debugging Tools component for Windows 10 SDK (Windows 10 only – See below).

Windows 10 SDK (Windows 10 users only)

On Windows 10, you need to install the Windows Debugging Tools component in the Windows 10 SDK. This enables PDBCopy.exe, which is used in the build process to strip symbols and optimize the resulting package size.

If you do not already have the Windows 10 SDK installed, follow these steps:

1. Download and install the Windows 10 SDK from Microsoft's site.

2. When you reach the dialogue that says select the features you want to install, make sure Debugging Tools for Windows is checked, then proceed with the installation.

   

3. Proceed with the installation.

If you already have the Windows 10 SDK set up, but don’t have Debugging Tools for Windows, follow these steps:

1. Open Add or Remove Programs.

2. In the list of available programs, locate your Windows Software Development Kit installation. Click Modify.

   

3. In the list of options that appears, check Change and click Next.

4. When you see the dialog that says select the features you want to change, check Debugging Tools for Windows, then click Change to proceed with the installation.

To make an Installed Build on Windows, follow these steps:

1. Regenerate your Unreal Engine project files.

   • If you encounter error messages when attempting to regenerate project files, double check that you have the Windows DotNet 6.0 runtime installed.

2. Use RunUAT.bat to create an installed build. The following is an example of a BuildGraph command to create an installed build for Windows:

   Command Line

   C++

   RunUAT.bat BuildGraph -script=Engine/Build/InstalledEngineBuild.xml -target="Make Installed Build Win64" -nosign -set:GameConfigurations=Development;Shipping -set:WithWin64=true -set:WithAndroid=true -set:WithDDC=false -set:WithLinux=false -set:WithLinuxArm64=false -set:WithIOS=false -set:WithTVOS=false -set:WithMac=false -clean

   Copy full snippet(1 line long)

   Make sure you specify whether or not every platform that you have available should be added or not. If you have additional platforms not mentioned here in your source code, add -Set:With[Platform]=true or -Set:With[Platform]=false according to your project’s needs, where [Platform] is replaced with the name of the added platform.

   The details about the parameters used in the above example are as follows:

   Parameter	Required or Optional	Description
   -target="Make Installed Build Win64”	Required	Instructs BuildGraph to run a specific operation. This graph of dependencies is described in the script="Engine/Build/InstalledEngineBuild.xml" and there are other options available that may meet your requirements better, but for the purposes of this document our example targets a build that matches what a user would receive from the launcher version of Unreal Engine.
   -set With[Platform]=true or -set With[Platform]=false	Required	Specifies whether or not support for a given platform should be added to your installed build, where [Platform] is replaced with the name of a platform you want to enable or disable. Make sure to add this parameter for every platform you have source code for. For details on which platforms to enable or disable, refer to the Required Platforms section below.
   -set:GameConfigurations=Development;Shipping	Required	Flag for different versions of the editor. We recommend including Development and Shipping.
   -set WithClient=false and -set WithServer=false	Optional	Specifies whether to create Client and Server builds for network multiplayer projects. Defaults to false.
   -set WithDDC=false	Optional	Specifies whether to create a build that includes Derived Data Cache support. Defaults to false.
   -clean	Recommended	Performs a fresh recompile of the project. Remove this parameter if you encounter an "Other Compilation Error” message.

   If you receive an "Other Compilation Error" message, remove the -clean parameter and try again, as there are known issues with this command on Linux.

3. Build the Shader Compiler Worker.

   C++

   Engine\Build\BatchFiles\Build.bat ShaderCompileWorker Win64 Development

   Copy full snippet(1 line long)

Your build appears in the Windows directory where Feature Packs, Templates, and Engine are located for distribution.

When creating installed builds on Windows, make sure you enable the following platforms with the -With[Platform] parameter:

Disable all other platforms, as they are not necessary for either running Unreal Editor or packaging HMI projects.

Installed builds appear in the LocalBuilds folder under LocalBuilds/Engine/Linux/Engine/Binaries/Win64. On the Windows operating system, UnrealEditor.exe is the main executable for the Unreal Editor. Run this executable to test your build.

To archive and distribute the build, place your installed build in the top directory of your source control repository alongside the FeaturePacks, Templates, and Engine directories.

If you see a prompt stating "Unable to launch ShaderCompileWorker" or experience a crash while compiling shaders, the Shader Compiler Worker has not been built yet. Revisit the last step of the workflow under Make an Installed Build above. We build Shader Compiler Worker separately so that you do not need to rebuild Shader Compiler Worker every time you build the editor.
