So I installed Unity for Wii U (I installed both the Unity Installer and Wii U support Installer) and downloaded the Wii U environment Via: Nintendo Dev Interface, I booted up unity and created a test project (Just to make sure that everything is working properly) and whenever I try to build the project it gives me these errors:
Unity 2017.1.2p3 (64bit) - Test Room 1.unity - Wii U Test - Wii U _DX11 on DX10 GPU_ 2_15_2022...png

I can kind of understand the player errors (because I don't have a proper player set up in the project) But I don't have the slightest clue as to how to fix the first error:
Environment Variable GHS_ROOT not found.
My first thought as to how to fix this error was to go into the Nintendo dev interface again and see if there was a way I could download the GHS_ROOT from there, no luck.
I then read through some forums and I saw one were someone had a similar issue and they went into environment variables via windows and edited the GHS_ROOT location.
but I have a problem with this method as for some reason GHS_ROOT doesn't show up at all in my environment manager:
Environment Variables 2_15_2022 4_06_46 PM.png

Did I forget to download something in Nintendo dev interface?
Nintendo Dev Interface 2_15_2022 4_09_01 PM.png

Or is there another way to fix this? I have a Nintendo developer Id and have access to the website but I could not find anything there. :( Also in the zip files for the unity installer it has a html document with a link to a website that the document claims to be for setting dev environments up, but the website seems to be down as whenever I click on the link it just shows text that says: "Sorry, not found"
Thanks for any help!

You need to be sure that GHS it's installed and where you installed.....after that you need to set the Enviroment variable .

I installed it to the default location: OS C: where it created a new folder called "ghs" I went into that folder and there was another folder named "multi 5327" and a folder called "Licenses"(Which is where my Nintendo permanent license is) I opened folder called multi "5327" and I couldn't find GHS_ROOT anywhere, even when I searched for it, do you think the installer might've missed downloading GHS_ROOT?

Also, this might be a dumb question but when I open GHS Multi it brings up this menu:

Do I need to create a workspace or set something up here? Thanks for any help!

I would but I can't find the GHS_ROOT file anywhere :( thanks for replying though!
You no need to find any folder named GHS_ROOT.....

Please follow the following steps:

Step 1: Simultaneously press ” Windows+R” and type ” sysdm.cpl”. And press OK.

Step 2: Go to Advanced > Environment Variables.

Step 3: The environment variables panel shows up on the screen. You can observe two types of variables sections:
  1. User Variables: Use them when you wish to change the environment variables for the current or specific user.
  2. System Variables: Use them when you want the system-wide changes.
Step 4: Click on New under System Variables section to create the Environment Variables.

Step 5: New System Variables box opens/ pops-up. Type GHS_ROOT in the variable name.

Step 6: Now, Click on Browse Directory and select the place where GHS is installed, usually it's (as you wrote also):
  • C:/ghs/multi 5327
Step 7: This will populate the path in the variable value. Finally, Click OK.

Step 8: To be sure Restart your PC.

Once you restarted, open Unity and test, if you have some other problem let me know......
