Unity Hub deinstalled itself???

@DanielTG

So, when I closed my computer yesterday night, I had just shut down Unity Hub, everything was right, I had used it during hours. This morning, I restart my computer and Unity Hub has lost its executables? Like I had deinstalled it myself, except that only the executables are missing.

Any idea what's happened there?

Now I must reinstall it...

 

I think the Unity hub updated to version 2.0.1 and removed the old version. If your on Windows 10, type Unity Hub in the task-bar search box and it should be there.

 

Thanks for the tip.

I'm on Windows 7. Normally Unity Hub shouldn't install updates without asking you if you agree but it appears that the new version I just installed is 2.0.1.0. and the one where the executables have disappeared was 2.0.0.0.

Apparently, Unity Hub tried deinstalling itself but failed and just removed its executables. I searched my computer and, fortunately, no other version was installed.

@DanielTG This is just unacceptable! Sneaky updates should never happen, whatever the software!!!

 

@joeksy @Charles_Beauchemin For information.

 

Update:

I made an experiment:

1. I deinstalled the new version I installed this morning,
2. I put back to back up version that was there yesterday (this one has its executables),
3. I run that back up version and got the "Hub 2.0.1 is available. To install the update, you must restart the Hub.",
4. I clicked on "Restart now" and the new version installed itself on "C:\Program Files\Unity Hub" instead of where it should have been installed (on an external drive in replacement of Unity Hub 2.0.0)!!!

I had this problem once in the past; it had been fixed why is it broken again? Come on!

 

Hi @AbrahamDUnity,

That, yes.

And if you manage to track the disappearance of the 2.0.0 executables from the Unity Hub directory when I started my computer this morning... I'd very much like to know why this happened.

 

Yes, it's the only install of the Hub I had (and have) anyway.

 

Thanks.

 

@APSchmidt the Hub automatically updates by either prompting you to restart when the app is running (so we don't interrupt any ongoing/background behaviour or on next launch. This has been consistent behaviour with all releases of the Hub.

What we need to investigate further the upgrade issue with the Hub not respecting your customer installation path on Windows. Apologies for the issue.

Thanks
Daniel

 

I found this today too. Unity Hub has uninstall it self.
I already install Unity Hub again and work fine.

 

Is your Hub installed on a drive that is not the C: drive?

@AbrahamDUnity I think I know why the hub update was installed on the C drive instead of where it was really installed. I think it was my fault; I sometimes use a registry cleaner and it could have just reset that path to default or, more probably, deleted the install location key. I don't see why it would do that though; I'll need to make it so this no longer happens in the future but I'm not sure where to look.

I remember that, before the Hub was created, we had a batch file in the place where we wanted to install the editors; this batch file was used by the installers, this is where they found the path where to install the editors. Do you think the team could make it so that this batch file is created each time we install the Hub?

If I'm right, the only issue you'll have now is finding out why the executables disappeared...

 

I just had this happen but it did not install Unity Hub somewhere else. Just totally uninstalled it after pressing Restart to updated Hub.

 

This just happened to me as well. My start menu shortcut no longer works and Unity Hub no longer exists anywhere. This is unacceptable. I'm assuming this has something to do with the fact that Unity Hub had an update it was going to install, but perhaps it shouldn't delete itself?

 

Same here, It asked for an update and deistalled itself. Have to download it manually and install it again.

 

In my case, it never asked for an update, one day was working perfectly fine and on the next, all files related to the Unity Hub where missing.

 

Ditto.

 

same here.
last night pressed restart on the hub to upodate. Continued working and didn't check to see if it restarted.
Turned on the PC today and the Unity Hub was gone. Only the the empty Folder is where it should be installed.
I had it installed on D on my main SSD, on C i have Windows 10 installed
No instalation on C.
