Error During Build / Deploy in Visual Studio Express 2013 with Unity 4.5

Hi,

I upgraded to Unity 4.5 and I built my existing project to Windows Store. When in Visual Studio, I tried to deploy it but I received the following error in my error list:

***

Error 1 The command "echo UnityInstallationDir 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Unity\Editor'

echo AssemblyConverter done.

***

My project built / deployed properly in Visual Studio before the Unity 4.5 upgrade. Does anyone what might be causing this error?

 

Thanks for the reply. The whitespace seems to be just a copy and paste issue.

I tried manually running the "coy /Y ..." command in CMD and it worked fine ... copied over 17 files. Are there any other commands that I can retry via CMD? I'm not familiar at all with Visual Studio so I really have no idea what the error message is saying.

 

I tried again after changing a few things and searching google for possible solutions. I still get the same error when building for Windows Store.

Here is the detailed build log:

Can anyone help diagnose the issue?

 

Have you tried just building the project in Unity3d then manually opening it in Visual Studio - to test?
So I assume it builds normally in Unity? Visual Studio-which version you using BTW?

 

Yep ... that's what I'm doing. Building in Unity and then opening with VIsual Studio Express 2013 and clicking Deploy (Local Machine / Debug Build / x86).

 

Great .... thanks for your help. I'll look into that. I'm guessing it's the Reign plugin. For some odd reason, I downgraded to Unity 4.3 and I don't get that error. I'm so close to release that I think I'll just finish up the game and release it with Unity 4.3 and then go back to figuring this out afterwards.

Also, I noticed that under Unity 4.5, there is no longer an option to build to x64 for WIndows Store apps in Visual Studio? Was that an intentional change?

 

The Reign plugin (which I bought a couple of days ago specifically for my current project) is giving me build errors too. I had to remove it completely. Hopefully the developers update it to work with 4.5 because I've spent a lot of time updating my project to work with the 4.5 2D physics changes.

 

I too am having problems with the AssemblyConverter in 4.5... here is the stack trace I am getting when trying to build:

I can see it's throwing a NullReferenceException, but it doesn't tell me where (if it's in my code.) So I am pretty much stumped at this point. I tried to remove the dlls with my code (to rule out my code was causing the problem) but still a NullReference was thrown.

EDIT: I have reverted back to 4.3.4 and can confirm the problem I was having is not present in 4.3.4 - I will therefore logically deduce this is probably a bug with the AssemblyConverter in Unity 4.5. I will submit a bug report when I can get around to it!

 

Have the same problem but in both 4.3.4 and 4.5 versions

I also have same issue while building for Windows Phone 8.1 , did anyone find a solution?
Building for Windows Phone 8.0 works fine. Version: 4.5.4p1

 

still havent found any solution for this. im too having this difficulty

 

Still bugged I noticed the bug happen when you check "Unity C# projects" option when building in Unity builder or just adding external library .dll like json.

 

Error 1 The command "echo UnityInstallationDir 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Unity\Editor'

while running in VS2013 Professional what to do know?

 

Hi guys i have same kind of errors but as Tautvydas Zilys i think its due to unsupported api, most of the plugins which were built without problems on WP8 are useless for WP8.1 I have this problems with App42 plugins and few Prime31 plugins did semeone found any workaround or its just impossible for now to build Universal WIndows Phone App when some api is unsupported despite I don't use this api?

 

It throws many reference rewriter errors with .dll if you put this into unprocessed .dll it will crash with error described above.
And this is official answer from Prime31 support
"Skip the universal build and it is much easier to get things working. Our post build system does not support universal builds so it will not auto-setup the Visual Studio project and Unity seems to have many bugs with regard to putting incorrect DLLs in both the Win Store and Win Phone build."

But how can i setup it manually? I have to make universal app build unfortunately.

 

Thanks for the replay I never thought about that, And i didn't find any note that those plugins are for WP8 only, from the support forum where people had problems with WP plugins on Universal App Prime31 just said that Unity doesn't handle dll well. Moreover a lot of Api i still different between Phone and Windows so I don't think it will be compatible. But i will give it a shot, a and share the result.

 

Unfortunately none of the plugins work for Windows Universal App so right now it is kinda useless, maybe someone know any working plugins for wp8.1 universal build?

 

There is nothing to say actually, Prime31 say he do not support Universal App, I tried his WIndows Store Plugins, Unity creates vs project without problems, building is also without problems, but they are just not working I see GUI buttons, but nothing works and sometimes there is just null exception after pressing buttons. All needed dlls are referenced correctly.

 

I also tried switching to universal from wp8 build, but lot's of plugins doesn't support windows store, and therefore they don't support windows store either. Some of them: Playmaker, KGF camera, daikon forge GUI (dfgui had some weird errors).
Playmaker is most crucial for me. I don't have time to replace playmaker states with new scripts. And therefore I am stuck with WP8 build.

 

@Rajmahal can i ask where you got the MarkerMetro.Unity.WinLegacy.dll from (this is something we authored). Not a big deal, just interested, feel free to hit me up on twitter @kpatton.

 

@keithpatton I actually have no idea. For this game, I used NGUI, Cruncher, AGK and Reign plugins so perhaps it comes through one of those? Most likely Reign plugins as I remember they had some plugin called Metro.

 

Actually I did a quick search for MarkerMetro ... and I don't think it's in my extracts. I think you're seeing the reference in Tyler0's log.
