4.5 version pdb2mdb.exe missing few dlls

Mono

-

There is missing few dll`s in "(Your Unity)\Editor\Data\MonoBleedingEdge\lib\mono" that is required by pdb2mdb.exe. It used to work on 4* unity 4.0 pdb2mdb version.

Steps:

1. Go to "(Your Unity)\Editor\Data\MonoBleedingEdge\lib\mono".
2. Run pdb2mdb.exe.
3. It should crash.

Workaround:

Copy Mono.Cecil.dll, Mono.Cecil.Pdb.dll, Mono.Cecil.Mdb.dll from "(Your Unity)Monodevelop\Bin\" to "(Your Unity)\Editor\Data\MonoBleedingEdge\lib\mono".

Reproduced: 5.0.0f4

    After investigating this issue some, it doesn't look like this is something that we can easily correct. The problem occurs when pbd2mdb.exe is executed with the .NET runtime instead of the Mono runtime (which is the default behavior on Windows). There are a few easy work arounds that do not involve copying files though. More details here: http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/running-pdb2mdb-with-unity-5-and-later.390456/

    This is the case in Unity 5.2.1f as well.

    Reproduced on 5.2.2. I found you only needed to copy the \mono\gac version Mono.Cecil.dll to \4.5, not any .pdb or .mdb for pdb2mdb.exe to work.

    A related question though: why doesn't pdb2mdb.exe find the Cecil in \mono\gac itself? Isn't that the point of a gac?

    reproduced 5.1.0f2 (beta)
    ADDITIONAL NOTE: actually need to copy the dlls to Editor\Data\MonoBleedingEdge\lib\mono\4.5

    for it to work for me.
