OVR Plugin Updater - Errors

1. Looks like the OVR Plugin Updater feature in the new Oculus Utilities 1.14.0 works upon loading up the Unity editor (5.6.0p3), but fails when you actually import the Utilities package into the editor.  Maybe that's not the right conclusion but that's how it behaved for me. 

2. After it reports successfully importing the newer plugin included with Utilities, I get "Multiple plugins with the same name 'ovrplugin'" errors.

-----

1.
I simply created an empty project and drag-imported the latest Oculus Utilities (1.14.0 | Published 2017-05-02) in there, and then get this prompt:



Choosing Yes shows this error in the console:


(PluginImporter pi looks like it's null at that point, so it might be a Unity issue.)

Closing down the project and re-opening it prompts me again, and then hitting Yes says that it works.

2.
But then, after closing and re-opening the project (again), I see multiple errors like this:

Multiple plugins with the same name 'ovrplugin' (found at 'H:/Program Files (x86)/Unity560p3/Editor/Data/UnityExtensions/Unity/VR/Win64/OVRPlugin.dll' and 'Assets/OVR/Plugins/1.14.0/Win64/OVRPlugin.dll'). That means one or more plugins are set to be compatible with Editor. Only one plugin at the time can be used by Editor.

I thought about deleting the OVRPlugin.dll's in Assets/OVR, but I'm afraid to break things further if Oculus is expecting files to be laid out a certain way.

Advice is appreciated!

    Hi all,

    This is unfortunately a known issue affecting Unity 5.6.x and the 2017.1.x betas. We are working to address this with Unity in upcoming versions within those release channels. However, do note that the error messages are spurious and can be ignored -- the correct version of OVRPlugin is used in this case. You can also opt to downgrade to the bundled version of the OVRPlugin for now [Tools Menu -> Oculus -> Disable OVR Utilities Plugin] and then disable the upgrade prompt with the "No, Don't Ask Again" option, which will suppress these messages. We'd recommend sticking with the latest version though, despite the annoyance of these errors. Apologies for the hassle -- we'll get this fixed as quickly as we can.

    @kersk  After updated Oculus Integration to V23. I got this error "Multiple plugins with the same name 'ovrplugin'..." I am using Unity2019.4.14. Thanks for the answer, it works for me. However it seems the problem still exist.
