Error CS00006: Metadata file ‘Assests/Plugins/Sirenix/Assemblies/Sirenix.Utilities.dll’ could not be found

Steps:

1. Download Odin Inspector Free Trial
2. Open new Unity 3d project
3. Run ‘Odin Inspector Trial.unitypackage’ (the downloaded file).
4. A screen will pop up in unity to import the package, select ‘All’ then ‘Import’
5. Get Error CS00006: Metadata file ‘Assests/Plugins/Sirenix/Assemblies/Sirenix.Utilities.dll’ could not be found

‌

The Utilities package is not loading, the rest of the inspector works but I can use any functions from the Utilities assembly.

‌

• I’m using Unity version 2020.3.5f1
• I’m using Odin version 3.1.11.0 (Trial)
• Issue persists in regardless of Editor Only Mode
• Windows 10

I had this problem too.

I found that they were there, until a dialog popped up asked me to activate the module. after clicking yes they got deleted.

Sthe way I fixed it:
1) Installed the plugin

2) don’t click yes on the activate module dialog straight away

3) copy the ‘Assets/Plugins/Sirenix/Assemblies/Sirenix.Utilities.dll’ (and matching metadata file) to somewhere else on my machine

4) click yes on the dialog

5) copy the files back in.

‌

Not sure what causes this, and would love to know a better way

This does not seem to reproduce. The trial package has been updated many times since this issue was reported, and our build pipeline has improved. I'm going to mark this as resolved; if anyone experiences this issue, please reply here or open a new issue about it :)
