Here is the error message(I am using Unity 2018.4.20f1:
Failed to import package with error: Couldn’t decompress package
UnityEditor.AssetDatabase:ImportPackage(String, Boolean)
TMPro.TMP_PackageUtilities:ImportProjectResources() (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@1.4.1/Scripts/Editor/TMP_PackageUtilities.cs:572)
TMPro.TMP_PackageUtilities:ImportProjectResourcesMenu() (at Library/PackageCache/com.unity.textmeshpro@1.4.1/Scripts/Editor/TMP_PackageUtilities.cs:495)

Also, I am not able to access 2019 Unity as I have problems Decompressing the file.
Is there a way to fix that please.

Thanks

Seems like some file issues perhaps the package was corrupted in the download process. I would suggest deleting the package from the Global Cache or the whole cache.

In terms of having a similar error with regards to Unity 2019.x, that seems strange as well.

If the issue is not related to the download getting corrupted, maybe it is related to the file location. Sometimes, issues can occur when putting Unity or file on some network share, etc.

Thanks for replying.

So I tried deleting the package but I still wasn’t able to decompress the package. But I also found out that I don’t have the TMP_PackageUtilities:ImportProjectResourcesMenu(). Is there way to get this package

Here is my new error message

Try importing version 1.5.0-preview.8 of the TMP package.

The files referenced above are all part of the TMP package. Something is going wrong in the download process or something. Is your project or Unity on a normal drive or some network share?
