Android missing gdiplus.dll error
Hey!
I get this logcat output on my android device:

I took one GdiPlus.dll from the directory C:\Windows\winsxs, renamed it to gdiplus.dll and put the dll into the assets folder, but still i get the exact same error.
What can I do?
Best, Andre

Hi Andre
I'm getting a similar error when trying to make use of System.Drawing.dll
Did you ever manage to solve this?
Thanks!
Did you put it into Assets/
or Assets/Plugins/
? DLLs should be in a Plugins
folder.
Also, I'm not sure it will work at all, it might be a Windows specific DLL that won't work on other platforms, but maybe there is a version for Android.
