It seems these files are not in the expected folder. Something must be wonky with the installer.

Judging from C:\Program Files\Silicon Studio\Xenko\Bin\Windows\x64\DxtWrapper.dll and C:\TeamCity\work\80a49494ba341a6a\sources\common\core\SiliconStudio.Core\Native\NativeLibrary.cs I assume that you chose to install Xenko in some non-default location.

[xen2]

No, this is just that some assemblies have .pdb (build server paths) and some other don't (user path).

[jayrulez]

How do I get around this @xen2 ?

[xen2]

@jayrulez if DxtWrapper.dll doesn't load, it could be because of missing Visual C++ runtime. To understand better, please let me know:

• Do you have Visual Studio installed?
• Did you have any issue when installing Xenko (specifically the prerequisites)?

(note: my previous answer was concerning @stefnotch remark)

[jayrulez]

I do have visual studio installed (Community 2017).

I have various versions of VS C++ runtime installed.

I didn't have any issue intalling Xenko.

I have .NET 4.7.1 installed while Xenko requires 4.6.2 but that shouldn't be a problem.

Could you try to open DxtWrapper.dll with Dependency Walker x64? http://www.dependencywalker.com/

You could then take a look at top level .dll and see if any is missing. Here is what it look like on my computer:
