5.5p1, Editor GUI Extension does not properly function and breaks other .dll files.

Unity Editor

Hi,

I’ve been trying to debug why any changes to the GUISystem editor extension do not work.

Simply copying the unmodified GUISystem folder out of the unity directory and then back in creates these errors forever until a reinstall. This is without any modifications to the content in that folder…

InitializeUnityExtensions: Must have a valid path for the plugin [18]
Extension was not registered, that means it relies on default UnityExtensions settings, please register extension and apply necessary settings for it in the callback.
InitializeUnityExtensions: Must have a valid path for the plugin [21]

Cloning your GIT repository and building with unmodified code (using .net 3.5) and then copying the output into the GUISystem directory in unity causes other .dll files to stop working

I get these errors in my other .dll files once updating the GUISystem with unmodified code:

Our project needs the GUI extension and other .dll files so we are 100% dead in the water. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

We just discovered that many plugins that DO NOT use .dll files but use custom inspectors are effected as well.

Note:
The GUI that ships with 5.5 does not have issues. The GUI for 5.5. that is downloaded from your GIT does. Portions of my team are blocked due to bugs in almost every version of Unity now. We really need to get 5.5. up and running as it fixes some 5.4 bugs. Any help is really appreciated.

Thanks.

With a fresh install of unity. Deleting our librarys and reimporting the GUISystem it again seams to work but we still get these errors on startup with a blank project: This is without modifying the GUI Code

Recursive Serialization is not supported. You can’t dereference a PPtr while loading. (Constructors of C# classes may not load objects either. See stacktrace.)

I am getting the exact same errors on a fresh install
