I have an issue with an app I’m trying to export on a Microsoft Surface pro. I’m trying to use a plugin called metaio to do some AR, but it seems it just doesn’t work on the surface (running Windows 8.1 at the moment).
so, the thing is, I have this app, that work just fine on every pc (running windows 7, 8, 8.1), but when I try to launch it on our surface, we have a DllNotFoundException. it can’t find the metaiosdk.dll (which is here). I tried with a different kind of AR plugin, Arpa, but I have the same issue, it can’t find its plugin either.
what I also tried, was to install the unity editor on the surface, and run the program on there, but same thing. Unity says it can’t find the dll.
So I was wondering if you were aware of that kind of issue with the Surface pro.
Is your game going to be standalone player game or Windows Store game? If it’s the former, you’ll have to redistribute this package OR place MFC100U.dll in your application folder with your game installer (as stated by http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms235299.aspx). If it’s the latter, you cannot use this DLL: you’re not allowed to have MFC dependency in Windows Store application.
Don’t install any programs, they will not help, and then, as it turned out, it is better not to install any tools. Download dll file from and delete your old one.
