MixedReality Input MotionControllerWatcher Error

Unity Engine

I am trying to set up a project to get input from the Motion Controllers’ A/B and X/Y buttons, following the documentation for HP Reverb G2 Controllers in Unity.

Right after adding the first part of code from the documentation to MotionControllerStateCache.cs, the console shows the following:

FileNotFoundException: Failed to load “vcruntime140_app.dll”. Please ensure that “Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable” is installed.

MotionControllerStateCache.cs, line 54 holds the following code:
_watcher = new MotionControllerWatcher();

Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable is installed.

Any help is highly appreciated.

UPDATE: Installed the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019 (both x84 and x64), still the same error.
Error first encountered in Unity 2019.4. Also tested with Unity 2020.3.

I’m not sure how to solve the specific error you are hitting. But suggest you to consider OpenXR plugin, which supports ReverbG2 natively without adding additional libraries. You can follow instructions here to setup your Unity project with OpenXR plugin, and setup ReverbG2 controller profile in OpenXR settings page.

I’m getting the same error.
・Unity 2020.3.28f1
・Mixed Reality Inpu 0.9.2006

I’m also having trouble because I can’t use OpenXR due to the project side.

How to reproduce the error
public MotionControllerWatcher _watcher;
public void Start()
{
_watcher = new MotionControllerWatcher();
}
