Rewired: TypeLoadException after upgrade to version 1.1.19 (Unity 2017)

Hello!

I wanted to update Rewired to version 1.1.19.0 or higher because of the PlayerController functionality. When I try to import Rewired into Unity 2017, I first get loads of compile errors from ExternalTools. After I resolve these I go back to Unity and try to run the Installer. Nothing happens. Instead I get an error:

"System.TypeLoadException: Could not load type 'Rewired.ReInput' from assembly 'Rewired_Core, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'" This error happens everytime when the project is opened and when I click on an object that has a Rewired InputManager script on it ( in UnityEditor.EditorAssemblies:ProcessInitializeOnLoadAttributes() , also at Assets/Rewired/Internal/Scripts/Editor/CustomInspectors/CustomInspector_External.cs:19 and Assets/Rewired/Integration/UnityUI/RewiredStandaloneInputModule.cs:1108). I cannot access the InputManager anymore, which is a huge issue.

I tried the same in Unity 2018 - no issues there. I tried to fix the compiler errors in Unity 2018, exported Rewired from that project and imported it into Unity 2017, as I thought the exception might happen because the Installer wasn't able to run because of the compiler errors. This didn't help.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create new Unity 2017 project.

2. Import Rewired version 1.1.19.0 or newer.

3. Fix compiler errors in ExternalTools.

4. TypeLoadException -> cannot run installer, cannot access InputManager

Is this a known issue, or is it possible that the new Rewired versions do not support Unity 2017?

Thank you for your support!

Cheers, Kati
