Failed to import package

Hello --

I'm new to Unity and I am trying to go through the basic tutorials. The first basic tutorial (Play and Edit Mode) works fine, but the second one (Game Objects & Components - Rigidbodies to the rescue) gives me an error that says it fails to import the package. I went to the folder and tried opening it up directly from the folder and I get another error message saying that it could not decompress the package ( I assume to open it up in Unity and teach me how to do stuff?).

Does anyone know how to fix this issue so that it works properly and I can continue with the basic tutorials? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

 

Not knowing which tutorial you are using, what package are you trying to import? What version of Unity? Can you provide a link to the tutorial step?

 

Yes. On the website it's this one:

https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials...orials/game-objects-components?playlist=49382

but it will not properly run when I try to start it in the program itself

 

Sorry, without going through the entire tutorial, can you elaborate which package you are trying to import? And Unity version?

 

It's the entire package for all of lesson 2 Game Objects and Components in the beginner tutorial section. It can't even open up that lesson from the tutorial at all.

That being said, Unity did just tell me there's an update required to the newest version, so I'm doing that now and hopefully that will fix the issue

 

Understood. I see now that you mean the entire tutorial package, not a single package within the tutorial. I just installed it myself on 2017.3, and saw no issues.

 

Fantastic. I believe 2017.3 is what my unity is being updated to at the current moment so hopefully the issue will be resolved!

Thank you very much, Jeff!

 

Same problem here.I've downloaded the earlier version 2017.3 and set as preferred. But same error occurred again.(MacOS)

 

I have been having that problem for months now, I cannot import or decompress any asset file from the asset store to tutorial assert packs, it keeps saying failed to decompress, even in my import asset menu option, I on,y have the custom option, all the others are removed.
I have installed 5 or 6 versions since this started and none of the newer versions seems to help, I even uninstalled completely and did a fresh instal, and have the same issues, I have purchased loads of expensive tutorials and asset packs and am really unhappy about this.
