Hololens build error: UnityException: Failed to run reference rewriter with command --target="Temp\

We currently have a workstation that is able to build Hololens Unity3d applications.

In setting up a second workstation (only major delta is Windows 10 x64 1607 vs 1703) we are receiving the following error output shown below. Any suggestions / hints / tricks would be greatly appreciated.

I will continue to review related posts.

Thanks,
Bob McCormack

Hi RMack,
I met the same issue. Have you solved the problem? Thanks.
