Error when building project in Unity

Hello all,
I have an issue that happens when I create a project in Unity and try to build it using the following the steps found here: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/holographic/exporting_and_building_a_unity_visual_studio_solution

I keep getting this error:

It is a really long error so I tried to get the jist of it. Anyway I have all the latest tools downloaded (Unity 5.5.0f3, Hololens emulator (build 10.0.14393.0), Vs 2015 with updates AND Tools (1.4.1) and Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586) IS installed) except for Vuforia (didn't look like I needed it for getting started). When I attempt a build in Unity, it tries to build the project and gives me the option to select where to put the project (I create the "App" folder). It tries to build but the .sln file but it is not created in the App folder I selected, but the file the App folder is in (one level up) and there is nothing inside the solution. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything and looked for solutions online. They all say that having VS tools 1.4 installed fixes everything.....well, not it my case, sadly. Any advice would by appreciated thanks.

  • Were you ever able to figure this out? We are experiencing the same error now too :/

  • I'm having the same issue as well :(

  • Me too :-(
    I have got all the requirements installed (Unity 5.5.2f1, VS 2015 Update 3, Windows SDKs...). But on my machine, the folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata\Facade" mentioned by the error message is missing (the Windows.winmd file is directly in the UnionMetadata folder). Can someone with a working setup have look at this?

  • While it is nice to see that others have gotten the same error, it would be great to get some kind of guidance about how to fix this. I am using Unity 5.5.2 on Windows 10 and reinstalled Unity to try to get rid of it, but no luck.

  • Following up on my post, I installed the latest version of Visual Studio Community (2017) and the Hololens Emulator, which forced a restart, and Unity will now build without errors.

    .

  • Make sure your VS version above Visual Studio 2015 Update 3
    and you must check Tools (1.4) and Windows 10 SDK (10.0.10586) when you install VS.

  • I am working with an example from Microsoft which deals with running WebRtc on Universal Windows Platform, more specifically the Peer-CC example (https://github.com/Microsoft/WebRTC-universal-samples/tree/master/Samples/PeerCC-Sample)

    For me, the project was missing some .dll (more specifically Org.webRtc.dll). I copied the .dll but not the associated .winmd file.

    That was causing this error and was solved after coping the .winmd file.
