Cannot install unity editor from unity hub

Question

I download the editor from Unity Hub but the installation fails every time.

When I try to reinstall by locating the editor through the hub it showed "this version of Unity is already on the list", so I cannot reinstall the same version.
I tried uninstalling the editor from the system, but still, it is not removed from the hub. I tried with a different version and met with the same problem.

Can you help me with this issue?

Answer 1

There can be a couple of things you might wanna check:

1. Your Internet. Sometimes, the downloading of the Unity Editor can take a long time. If your network is having low bandwidth, then Unity Hub might have a problem with installing the Editor.

2. See if your machine is meeting the requirements for downloading whatever version of Unity Editor you are trying to download.

3. If there is another copy of Unity Editor on your machine already, then Unity Hub won’t download it again. Check if you have deleted every single piece of Unity Editor before you install the same version again.

If this doesn’t work then just reply and tell me.

How can you make sure every unity editor is deleted from the system? Also what are the system requirements? I can't find it for windows 10 64bit

Aftermath

same problem for me, I thought it would just take a while so I installed it over night, nothing happend, then I thought it could be my storage that's maybe to full so I uninstalled a few apk but it didn' help. To be more specific, it sais "validating". All the other files that has to be installed are "Install queued"

Answer 4

How I fixed this is by tracking the download location which for me was as usual on “temp” and deleting all the files in that folder and reinstalling the editor

Steps:

1. Press Windows Key + R
2. Type %temp%
3. Select all and delete

These are temporary files and even if deleted doesn’t really effect the system as much.
