Well, by definition you can't do this. Sorry! UnityEditor is talking about classes which can only be used in the Editor (i.e, for development). Any classes which use the UnityEditor functions will not even be included in your builds, so there's no way of using them in an actual game.

(unless you do something silly like make a distraction for unity developers which runs entirely in the Editor. That would be incredibly silly, but there's no reason why you can't do it)

What are you doing here? Just convert my comment into an answer, if it's that important to you.

It's for extending the editor, for in-game uses search for "Unity GUI" and you'll find plenty of results.

I think @noob22 is trying to get an OS-native external message window to appear. Unfortunately, outside of the Editor, Unity does not provide any easy way of doing this.

Right, worst case, just code your own GUI window to do it.
