Help please.

Installed Unity 5.3.0f4 (32-bit) on Windows 10 machine.

When running the program the Unity splash screen appears and then the window opens but is black and nothing happens.

DIdn’t help me. I have only packages folder and package.json file in there, nothing else.

Post #29 on the thread linked by @swanne will help you - the packages may be located in a different folder, which is specified in that post. Hope that helps - I had the same problem, and it did for me :)

what worked:

  • going and downloading an “older”
    version of Unity, which can be found
    on Unity’s site:
  • Download Archive
  • I replaced my Unity Download Manager with the Unity 5.6.7f1 version, and then reinstalled Unity, and it worked fine!

what didnt work:

  • reinstalling Unity using the download
    manager on my system, after
    completely wiping it out

  • reinstalling node (as the home screen
    of unity is written in node)

  • neither of these approaches worked
