failed executing external process for 'bake runtime' job

I get the above error after changing the player settings. It doesn't seem to be an issue yet but I figure it will cause problems when I try to run the game. Does anyone know how to get rid of this error?

Thanks

Hi David Menear Jr,

This sounds like a lighting error. In the Lighting window, did you uncheck Precomputed Realtime GI and Baked GI, the way it's demonstrated in the video "Setup the Project"?

They were unchecked as the video showed. That happened yesterday, I had the error. I closed unity for the night and when starting back up today, the error is gone. So I don't know, it seems to be fine now. In the future, I will try restarting unity before asking questions.

Thanks!

Why it will cause problems when you try to run the game?

I think that bake runtime error has a relation with "Precomputed Realtime GI" script attach to Lightnig , Scene tab sector that was disable. In the course has been disable to optimize performance while creating the game. http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GlobalIllumination.html (Scene Tab)
