    I downloaded unity3d tonight and tried to do a build on a project with no scripts, nothing. Just a blank shell.

    What am I doing wrong?

    ArgumentException: The Assembly UnityEngine is referenced by UnityEngine.UI ('C:/Program Files/Unity/Editor/Data/UnityExtensions/Unity/GUISystem/Standalone/UnityEngine.UI.dll'). But the dll is not allowed to be included or could not be found.
    UnityEditor.AssemblyHelper.AddReferencedAssembliesRecurse (System.String assemblyPath, System.Collections.Generic.List`1 alreadyFoundAssemblies, System.String[] allAssemblyPaths, System.String[] foldersToSearch, System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2 cache, BuildTarget target) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/AssemblyHelper.cs:152)
    UnityEditor.AssemblyHelper.FindAssembliesReferencedBy (System.String[] paths, System.String[] foldersToSearch, BuildTarget target) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/AssemblyHelper.cs:192)
    UnityEngine.GUIUtility:processEvent(Int32, IntPtr)

    I've had this problem too - but no one seems to have any ideas. I've reinstalled unity and reinstalled windows with no joy. Have you found a way to fix this?

    I'm having this problem now... exact same problem cropped up midway through one of my projects, and persists even when creating a new project from scratch with no scripts.

    update - I deleted C:\ProgramData\Unity\index-local.xml while Unity was closed, reopened the project, and tried to build again. It finally works!
