Failed to run assembly preprocessor with cmdline error

i get this error. what cause this? must all asset owners change their precompiled libraries to make them compatible with phone 8 and windows store apps?

Error building Player: Exception: Failed to run assembly preprocessor with cmdline "Temp/StagingArea\Data/Managed\EasyRoads3D.dll" -injectCtor -assemblyPath "Temp/StagingArea\Managed" -pdb.[Temp/StagingArea\Data/Managed\EasyRoads3D.dll]

it is a part of EasyRoads3D that is sold on Asset Store. it should be a mono built dll that hides source code of this asset.

it's path is; \Assets\EasyRoads3D\lib\EasyRoads3D.dll

 

i did. 562600

 

@Tautvydas what is the criteria to be compatible with phone 8 and windows app build?

i tried this;

i added an character with animation. i build this project for both window store and phone 8. i tested both, they work fine on devices.

i added playmaker to the project. it has also dll files. i did not used any object from this package.. it worked on both platforms.

i deleted playmaker and added easyroads3d pro to my project. i did not used any object from this package. it generates error that i post.

 

what are the compatibility rules? no hashmap?

 

package owner said he build this dll with visual studio. can it be the reason of this error? he will also build this dll with monodevelop and i will test it.

 

Hey guys, I'm getting a similar error when I try to build for Windows Store. Any ideas as to what might be causing it? Thanks!

Any update on this? I'm getting the same error building for Windows Store.

 

I could be wrong but I belief this is resolved in the 4.3 beta. At least, the problems Atmuc described do not occur in the 4.3 beta

 

it is ok with new beta version of 4.3. if i do not confuse it worked on 4.2 with new easyroads package.

 

I just started getting this error in 4.3.3 after I successfully built about 20 times yesterday. No differences between yesterday and today except I made a few changes to my .NET 4.5.1 DLL located in Plugins/Metro/ (all changes were private, none of the public functions changed). There are no 3rd party DLLs, only my mock .NET 3.5 DLL in Plugins/ and my true DLL in Plugins/Metro, plus one more DLL in Plugins/ which is just a class that's shared between Unity's scripts and the .NET 4.5.1 DLL. I'm going to try wiping the Windows 8 build folder and start again.

Edit: Wiping the Win 8 build folder didn't help. Neither did rebuilding both the mock and the Metro DLL... I guess maybe I'll try rebooting next.

The full error:

I discovered the source of my problem, though I can't understand why it didn't work. This code in my Plugins/Metro/Win8StoreLib.dll killed it:

Code (csharp):

1. public static class SaveFile {
2.     private const UnicodeEncoding stringEncoding = Windows.Storage.Streams.UnicodeEncoding.Utf8;
3.     private const ByteOrder byteOrder = Windows.Storage.Streams.ByteOrder.LittleEndian;
4.     // ... the rest of the class
5. }

Changing it to this no longer causes Unity to throw the error:

Code (csharp):

1. public static class SaveFile {
2.     private static readonly UnicodeEncoding stringEncoding = Windows.Storage.Streams.UnicodeEncoding.Utf8;
3.     private static readonly ByteOrder byteOrder = Windows.Storage.Streams.ByteOrder.LittleEndian;
4.     // ... the rest of the class
5. }

So it seems even though those consts were private, it couldn't handle it. Odd.

This however does not kill it:

Code (csharp):

1. public static class SaveFile {
2.     private const byte arraySizeLength = 4;
3.     // ... the rest of the class
4. }

 

Okay, I submitted the bug report with repro (case 590116). Thanks!
