Resolution Note:
This is by design: Unity is a cross platform product. Its runtime does not support Windows-only dependency by default.
We support WinRT dependencies within the UWP player, but can't load them in the editor.
In this case we suggest:
- remove dependency on PresentationFramework (we don't support it wether in editor or standalone player)
- if references to WinRT types are actually relevant, change the dll settings to make it only load in UWP platform and use conditional compilation to only use it when running in the UWP player.
