Failed to resolve packages (699762)

Failed to resolve packages: EPERM: operation not permitted, mkdir ‘’. No packages loaded.
A re-import of the project may be required to fix the issue or a manual modification of H:/Project Test/Unity 2018.1 TestProject/Unity 2018.1 TestProject/Packages/manifest.json file.

Hi @MonsterYu ,

Can you give us more details on your project? Which version of Unity 2018.1 are you using? b13, f1?

It seems that Unity would want to create a folder in c:\program files\nodejs\node_global npm, this is not something that the software should do. Do you have this folder already on your system? Do you have admnistrator permission on your computer?

Regards,

Pascal

Version is 2018.1.0f1.

This project is newly built without adding anything.

Hi @MonsterYu ,

Thank you for the feedback! Glad this issue was resolved. We will test your use case, opening a project without administrative permissions, and make sure it doesn’t generate errors for you or others.

Your feedback will help us fix this issue!

Thanks again,

Pascal

Hi @MonsterYu could you help us in recreating this issue? Couple of questions for you:

  1. How did you install Unity? Using Unity Hub?
  2. Where is Unity 2018.1.0f1 located? (if using the Hub, go to Installs > On My Machine > see path)
  3. When you created your Test Project, were you using the same Windows account that installed Unity?
  4. Have you ever used npm and changed npm’s global config?
  5. To fix the issue, did you open Unity.exe as administrator?
