so i should uninstall the hub?

[cedar lava]

download the regular exe and install that

[restive plank]

what?

[cedar lava]

https://unity.com/releases/editor/whats-new/6000.0.31#installs

[restive plank]

for how long is this 99% issue been going?

[cedar lava]

well since you didn't try another version , why dont you try that

[restive plank]

tried like 4 different viersion

[cedar lava]

like what?

[restive plank]

The recommended one, two of the 2023 and one in 2022

[cedar lava]

no such thing as 2023

its either 6 or 2022

[oblique fulcrum]

you tried unity 6 and 2022? just changing the editor version shouldn't solve the issue

[cedar lava]

it could if newest LTS is borked or something

[restive plank]

3 from here - 1 from the hub (recommended)

[cedar lava]

on the site the manual download for latest LTS leads to 404

hence why i linked .31f instead of 32f1

[restive plank]

did anyone ever come here and make such a big issue of the 99%?

[cedar lava]

again, you can try installing the Editor without the hub and see if that works.

[cedar lava]

no normally it fails for some other reason

[restive plank]

huh?

[oblique fulcrum]

well it does happen sometimes, but it usually is an antivirus issue

[cedar lava]

normally it says Failed after a while

never personally seen stuck at 99% download

[oblique fulcrum]

but your logs say it could not find the parent editor or something like that

[cedar lava]

I would first test the manually installed editor, see if that runs then figure out the Hub later.

there is literally no benefit to the hub, just makes it easier to install modules

[restive plank]

IS THIS RIGHT-

[cedar lava]

the site has each module as a download anyway so its not big deal

yes

[restive plank]

Ok

[cedar lava]

also how much space do you have left on C: ?

[oblique fulcrum]

then just run the .exe and follow the steps

[restive plank]

1.1tb

[cedar lava]

ok

[restive plank]

hows the .exe any diffrent than the hub?

( i still didnt get it)

[oblique fulcrum]

you are downloading the editor directly, no need for a middle man such as the hub

[cedar lava]

because the hub has more extra layer of abstraction

[restive plank]

Ok

[cedar lava]

ideally you eventually want to figure out whats wrong with hub but for now you can use editor just fine.

[restive plank]

can i still make a 3d project?

[oblique fulcrum]

why wouldn't you be able to?

[cedar lava]

the editor will work exactly the same.. nothing about HUB changes how unity behaves

its just a crappy middleman sometimes (personally never had issues with it but others have )

[restive plank]

Ok

I finsihed my overall dowland

now what do i do

nothing is appearing

where do i dowland visual c++

[wary swallow]

The compiler or redistributable?

[oblique fulcrum]

where do you download Visual studio?

[restive plank]

wdym?

[oblique fulcrum]

I was just double checking what you meant

[wary swallow]

Probably set up visual C++ in VS

[cedar lava]

well there you go, this could explain why hub mightve been stuck

[restive plank]

I enetered vs

[cedar lava]

no

this is https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#visual-studio-2010-vc-100-sp1-no-longer-supported

not sure why that version popped up though

also windows normally already has those installed in 11 no?

[cedar lava]

C++ runtime has nothing to do with Visual Studio

[restive plank]

tyes it does

[cedar lava]

it normally already in Windows

c++ runtime is for running apps

[oblique fulcrum]

you could just download the latest one under
Latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Version

[restive plank]

Ok i repaired it

[wary swallow]

Download visual redistributable and run as administrator, might do it

[restive plank]

which one

[cedar lava]

the important part is having Unity selected/download here

[restive plank]

ok nvm

[wary swallow]

For VS, the latest

At least that’s what I’d recommend, not exactly sure if that’ll work

[restive plank]

dowland it or no ?

[cedar lava]

yes. Uncheck hub and Copilot

[restive plank]

im so lost rhough all this things

when im dowlanding the .exe again the same thing pops up with the warning but let me try again

[wary swallow]

Try restarting your computer

[restive plank]

i did

litterly just now

[restive plank]

but wdym uyncheck?

unchecl'

uncheck

[cedar lava]

what thing ?

[restive plank]

setup

[cedar lava]

wat?

[restive plank]

oh

[cedar lava]

which setup. we;re not mind readers

[restive plank]

like open the setup and see if the messahe pops up

[restive plank]

this

[cedar lava]

again. thats why i said unrelated to VS

did you download and install the C++ redistributable ?

[restive plank]

yes the x64

[cedar lava]

ok so install it, possibly restart pc

god windows sucks an ass

[restive plank]

for unity

[cedar lava]

nah

its a shit OS

[wary swallow]

You ran the vc_redist.x64.exe just to make sure?

[cedar lava]

this is completely unrelated

[restive plank]

yes

[restive plank]

you told me to dowland it

for unity

[cedar lava]

Yes but Im saying its not related to C++ redistributable issue

that has to do with Windows being stupid and not including that runtime with windows for some reason

also I have no idea why its using 2010 version

[restive plank]

Ok lets start from the begging what do i have to do

[cedar lava]

Wait for VS to install, Install the C++ runtime redistributable. restart. run Unity

[restive plank]

Hub or Setup

[cedar lava]

forget hub.

[restive plank]

OK

[cedar lava]

we were clearly doing it without hub, why did you bring up hub lol

[restive plank]

Ok i restarted my computer

[onyx siren]

Hello! I'm on vacation right now, but, happened to check in here and have a few thoughts:

• What navarone mentioned here is correct if you install Unity from the download archive

If you do want to go the Hub route:

• 99% can be an anti-malware issue, but can also sometimes be a permissions issue. Do you have admin rights on this machine? I'd assume so given you could install VS, but worth asking
• If you do want to use the Hub route - would you be able to share logs? You can get logs from https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/log-files.html - but as Navarone has mentioned, you can totally install the Editor w/o the Hub, it just helps for licensing + downloading of additional platform components

[oblique fulcrum]

he already did share logs

[restive plank]

I have vs

[onyx siren]

Ah sorry! Completely missed this! I dislike how fast Discord is compared to a forum 😆

[restive plank]

is this guy an ai?

[oblique fulcrum]

#💻┃unity-talk message this one in particular seems to catch my eye

[cedar lava]

thats a Unity employee mate

[restive plank]

Ok

[cedar lava]

here was the log btw
#💻┃unity-talk message

nothing interesting stood out to me

assuming thats even the Entire log and not cutoff by Discord

normally it just fails or something, stuck at 99% on download might've been def a firewall/antivirus perhaps

[onyx siren]

UnityInstallerWindows","pid":36524,"message":"user did not agree to the UAC prompt and the process was not started"}
Is fairly interesting - @restive plank , do you happen to have admin rights on this machine?

[restive plank]

my real time protection is off

[cedar lava]

we'll see what happens with activation lol

[restive plank]

what?

[cedar lava]

ah yes.. also odd that they said they did not get a UAC prompt for CommandLine which i usually get for a new install

idk how I missed that

[restive plank]

I need to be an admin?

[cedar lava]

the prompt i showed you before

[oblique fulcrum]

ah Val is right, run the hub with admin privileges

see if it gives you the prompt

[wary swallow]

Won’t kill to try running your set up as an admin

[cedar lava]

the problem with that sometime it makes the Editor run as admin which is undesirable @oblique fulcrum

[restive plank]

you guys mean this?

[onyx siren]

So, you can totally install Unity without admin rights, but by default on Windows we assume you have admin on your machine - this is so we can install dependencies for you, and setup firewall exclusions such that the profiler & debugger will work correctly over the network.

We have a section on our docs on setting up the Hub to run without admin if you don't want to give the Hub admin rights - give me two secs to find it.

[restive plank]

Yes right after all the drama with one drive i resrated my laptop then i have gone on the hub as admin and it still sayed 99%

[cedar lava]

also just curious, show both your Download path and Editor path in Hub

[restive plank]

one moment

is this the right one it just appear on my screen

[cedar lava]

btw did editor run ? lets test that first then figure out fix for hub

[restive plank]

its the same as the hub

[oblique fulcrum]

The editor is not no

[cedar lava]

Installing in Documents is a bit odd

apps normally belong in C:ProgramFiles

[restive plank]

Now what the hell is this

[cedar lava]

def some permission issues going on

maybe

[onyx siren]

This is a Windows path length limitation I think. Let me double check that though

[wary swallow]

Try deleting the template in that location and re-setting the whole thing up in program files

[onyx siren]

OK yes, I believe this is path length. Where is the project on your computer, and how long is the file path?

[restive plank]

I have no project

[cedar lava]

you created a new project ?

certainly you picked a folder for it..

[restive plank]

one moment

man i dont know

[cedar lava]

You're the one controlling the computer, how do you not know?

[restive plank]

ok

what should i be looking for?

[cedar lava]

start by tellings us How did you get to this error, what did you do beforehand

[restive plank]

this one yes?

[cedar lava]

yes

[restive plank]

when i press make a new project and i press unversel 3d then create project

that just appears

[cedar lava]

ok now.. which Folder/path did you pick for saving new project into

when you create new project its right there

[restive plank]

my search goes like this - then i press on my wanted folder

i tried normaly to

[onyx siren]

For some added detail - the project path location is here in the Hub when you create a project 🙂

If you click that, it should pop up with where you're currently attempting to create a project

[restive plank]

in 'this pc'

what about this?

[cedar lava]

are you running the correct Unity ?

[oblique fulcrum]

was this the offline version of unity?

[restive plank]

yes the one you gave me

[cedar lava]

did you remove the one from before that was stuck? in the hub

[restive plank]

yes

[cedar lava]

stil might be permission issue (holy crap windows sucks)
click Diagnose and see what happens

[oblique fulcrum]

linux ftw

[cedar lava]

fr

[onyx siren]

(As a heads up, I'm going to have to dip - my laundry just finished up! But if I find some free time while on vacation in the next few days I'll drop back in here - but you seem to be in good hands with @cedar lava and dec_ves ! )

[restive plank]

nothing

[cedar lava]

enjoy your vacay! @onyx siren

[onyx siren]

thank you! 🎅

[oblique fulcrum]

Thanks for your time, especially on vacation 😁

[cedar lava]

hopefully we fix it soon , I got to make dinner soon lol

[restive plank]

didnt notice thise

nvm

i pressed to dowlandet it by accident

[restive plank]

got this fail

[wary swallow]

Check your internet connection?

[restive plank]

nothing to do with internet connection

[wary swallow]

It does actually
