    I can't seem to import the Viking Demo or the UFPS system from the Asset Store. Other smaller assets seem to work. However, when these other systems download they reach 100%. I also never get a confirmation that they are finished. I've even tried waiting for 10 mins while it was at 100%, but I never get a notification that it's finished.

    When I try to import I get the following error.

    Failed to import package with error: Couldn't decompress package
    UnityEditor.AssetStoreContext:OpenPackage(String)

    I have plenty of space on my computer.
    I'm using Unity 5 Personal 64-bit (Windows 8).
    Other smaller assets seem to work.
    I've tried using a new project, the same problem happens.
    I've redownloading multiple times using different projects with the same outcome.

    Does anyone know what could be causing this or is it some kind of bug?

    I am having the same issue that rodolfo_r is. with the same asset. I have tried uninstalling unity. Installing on a different computer. moving the package into my drive root folder before trying to open it. I also checked to make sure there were no strange characters in the package's path. no luck so far. hopefully one of those ideas will help some of you guys out.

    Edit: rodolfo_r i managed to get one of the previous builds imported from that github folder. it was version number 0.9.12. i think that other package is corrupt as it is only ~30 KB

    This happens to me constantly on large assets (over 350mb or so) So far the only fix I've found is to delete the asset from .Appdata, visit the asset store page and download it off the page itself then import (not through the library but the page on the actual store)

    I had same error because Unity download assets on C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store-5.x. My C: drive was full when downloading it. On next start unity believe that the related package was successully downloaed so package install on the project fails after.
    Solution :
    1. delete corrupted asset under C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store-5.x
    2. make enough space on your C: drive
    3. go to asset store and reload the asset
    4. install the asset in your project
