    Hello,
    There is some kind of regression on windows phone in Unity 5.3. Now I can't create folder in persistent data path. This line of code
    Directory.CreateDirectory(Application.persistentDataPath + "/38");
    causes an exception
    IOException: Could not find any part of the path: D:/WPSystem/AppData/Local/Packages/6ec76e3e-d3d6-4990-9a2b-35465c4a7d5d_pzq3xp76mxafg/LocalState/38
    at System.IO.Directory.CreateDirectory(String path)
    at Tester.Start()
    at Tester.$Invoke0(Int64 instance, Int64* args)
    at UnityEngine.Internal.$MethodUtility.InvokeMethod(Int64 instance, Int64* args, IntPtr method)
    (Filename: <Unknown> Line: 0)
    It was worked in Unity 5.2.3. Is there any workaround? Should i report a bug?

    Does parent folder 'D:/WPSystem/AppData/Local/Packages/6ec76e3e-d3d6-4990-9a2b-35465c4a7d5d_pzq3xp76mxafg/LocalState/' exist?

    Directory.Exists(Application.persistentDataPath) returns true

    Try this for a workaround:

    Code (csharp):
    1. var path = Path.Combine(Application.persistentDataPath, "38").Replace('/', '\\');
    2. Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
    I'll fill a bug report on this - we'll try to get a fix into a patch release (case 752546).

    UnityEngine.Windows.Directory.CreateDirectory(UnityEngine.Windows.Directory.localFolder + "/38") ;

    I had this problem with Directory.CreateDirectory in 5.3.1f1. I applied the patch 5.3.1p1 but it still doesn't work.

    I used the suggestion of Windows.Directory.CreateDirectory and this works.
