    TYRANNICUS100BC's comment (2015/05/26) is the "hardcore" solution. however, just adding this script and running it from the Menu works nicely:

    This problem hit me suddenly today across several projects - but oddly with different errors in different projects - along with random other problems (unrelated scripts missing all over the place, at least one of my own scripts actually deleted (the file itself is no longer on the hard drive) at random, keyboard control no longer working in one project but fine in the others even though they use the same code, etc).

    That workaround never works for me, on Windows. I am stuck reimporting Assets every time this happens to me, which is almost daily now. Very painful bug.

    It seems like all UnityExtensions are causing this problem, because I had to extend below solution with removing/restoring all three folders from Unity/Editor/Data/UnityExtensions:
    GUISystem
    Networking
    UnityAnalitics

    Rene, can you provide any news about fixing it?

    Hey Folks,

    We got the error again this morning after renaming a folder. Working in 5.0.3f2.

    As usual the fix from TYRANNICUS100BCMAY is working (thank you).

    "Best work around we've found:
    1. Quit Unity
    2. Move UnityEngine.UI.dll and UnityEditor.UI.dll to your desktop
    3. Relaunch Unity
    4. Quit Unity
    5. Move UnityEngine.UI.dll and UnityEditor.UI.dll back to their original location
    6. Relaunch Unity"

    Cheers,

    Still happening in 5.1. Also now, the same thing is happening with the networking dll.
