I have seen this issue before, but nothing prior has helped me debug this.
Any ideas with what could be the issue with the latest version? I am trying to build and program the Alcitry Au board.
I assume the * was your addition?
This means your build failed for some reason. Without the build logs, it’s impossible to tell why.
This is the only build log message I see.
As an update, I can erase the memory on the Alchitry Au boards, and when I press program, some code sequence is executed, but I can not find what file is being is uploaded to the module.
Is there stand-alone build log file I can refer to?
It seems like Vivado is crashing. There should be a ton of output between starting Vivado and it exiting. Are you on Windows or Linux?
Make sure you can run Vivado on its own.
I am on Windows, thinking of setting up in Linux next…
Vivado did run on its own when I installed it (I checked because I was having Vivado problems), but now I am getting *.dll and *.bat file errors as well…
Update: I uninstalled and reinstalled Vivado, which gives the same issue. I did update the Vivado pointer folder to point to the parent Xilinx folder, and then I got some errors in the build log…
The first message sates that you are missing the VS 2015 redistributable package : https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48145
Installing this should fix the Vivado issue 
You will also need to rollback the pointer change
I am sorry to say, I am not much of a software guy… how do I roll back the pointer change, which files should I be considering?
You need to undo what you did earlier :
I did update the Vivado pointer folder to point to the parent Xilinx folder
Installing the VS 2015 package, and pointing to the origial destination (*\Xilinx]Vivado\2024.2) worked, and I can build programs now!
Thank you much, gc74!
