Building leaves empty folder

Hey guys,

So I have my game up and running on the windows phone 8 store and I want to port it over to windows store. So I have the same project and I change the build settings to windows store app. I also have Visual Studios 2012 express for windows 8 installed. When I click the build and select a folder two small black boxes pop up as if it was building and then it beeps at me. I then check the folder that I was attempting to build to and nothing exist in the folder.

Anybody know why this is happening?

 

Do you have the Windows 8 SDK installed?

I have the Windows 8.1 SDK installed, it won't install the Windows 8 SDK.

Here is the link for windows 8.1 SDK

Don't know if it matters but I am running windows 8.1 on my laptop

 

I have checked the log editor and it shows nothing. It's honestly as if nothing is happening when I press the build button

 

Are you using any 3rd Party Add-on's .. For one Collider Gen for instance? I notice if there are build warnings sometimes it wont build the Windows Store app's.

 

I am using NGUI but that's it and NGUI works on windows phone 8 so I would be very surprised if it didn't work for Windows Store

 

Here is a video that shows what I am doing. Quality is still low but you can see the basic problems

 

Just thought I would bump this as I still am having this problem and can't figure it out.

Some more information for you guys, I am using a sony vaio pro 13 running windows 8.1 with the new i7 processor and the intel graphics card. Also I have to force Unity to run in DX11 mode or else when I boot up any graphics it crashes. Maybe that is wrecking something?

 

Hi Tomas1856 thanks for replying,

I think this is the Editor.log you were talking about. I had to it into 3 separate files to upload it

The error is right in the log file:

Code (csharp):

1. error CS0006: Metadata file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Windows.winmd' could not be found

You do not have the Windows 8 SDK installed. I know for certain that it can be installed side by side with Windows 8.1. Download it from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852363.aspx and install that, then try again and it should build for you.

 

Hey Kyle,

I have installed the link you sent me up I am still having problems with the build, two balck boxes pop up quickly now instead of just one. It still has an empty folder. I have attached the editor logs again

I've got good news and bad news for you.

The good news is that installing the Windows 8 SDK fixed it for you! Hooray!

The bad news is that now that it is able to *try* to build, you are getting proper errors.

Have you looked at the console before in Unity? Go to Window -> Console, it will show errors that come up as you try to build. These errors will come up in your console. As well as any error while running / testing the game - you really cant live without the Console window.

Basically your problem is now that you are using classes (hashtable) that are unsupported with Windows 8 store. There are plenty of other posts in this forum about it which you can look through, or you can wait till Unity 4.3 comes out (soon) which I believe fixes the issue of Hashtables automagically for you.

Oh I see, its the hashtables in iTween now that are breaking it.

Thank you very much for your Kyle!
