Another case of DllNotFoundException

Question

Hi,

We have a case of DllNotFoundException that we can't figure out even after looking at previous posts relating to this problem and trying the solutions. 

DllNotFoundException: Assets/Wwise/Deployment/Plugins/Windows/x86_64/Profile/AkSoundEngine.dll
AkSoundEngine.IsInitialized () (at Assets/Plugins/Wwise/Deployment/API/Generated/Windows/AkSoundEngine_Windows.cs:2368)
AkSoundEngine.RegisterGameObj (UnityEngine.GameObject in_gameObjectID, System.String in_pszObjName, UInt32 in_uListenerMask) (at Assets/Plugins/Wwise/Deployment/API/Generated/Windows/AkSoundEngine_Windows.cs:105)
AkGameObj.Awake () (at Assets/Plugins/Wwise/Deployment/Components/AkGameObj.cs:74)

Here's the setup:

• Recently updated from Wwise unity integration 2014.x (don't remember exactly) to 2015.1.5
• Unity 5.3.2p1
• Windows 7 64 bits
• Only one user out of many has this issue
• We are using git
• The user did a fresh clone and issue is still there.
• Unity platform is PC standalone, Windows, x86_64
• The dll is there in Unity with Editor and Standalone checked, CPU x86_64, OS Windows, the path is right. 
• The dll is on the hard drive 
• We tried Assets->Wwise->Activate plugin->Debug/Profile/Release + Unity restart but bug still there. 
• The user has tried launching a build done from another PC and it's working with sound. 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Nam

Answer 1

The user, who is not a sound designer and only uses Unity, installed Wwise Authoring and SDK and it fixed his problem but we don't know why exactly.

Recently, he had un-installed some software to make space to install some other software and that potentially caused the problem. Unfortunately, we don't have any clues to exactly what was the problem.
