Hello,
The hub looks good, it’s very welcome. However it seems to be not possible to select the install path. Can I do that in a config file? (maybe it’s not yet exposed).
Regards,
Would like to see this feature as well, being able to manually change the installation path.

I agree. I install Unity on my D drive but the hub installs to the C drive without an option to change the install path.

Thanks for your suggestions. We will try to add this to our upcoming versions of the Hub.

Thank you guys! We use a small SSD for the system (c:) and a large HDD for the data. All unity versions and all projects are located on this drive. I think that a lot of users are doing the same thing, it’s better to keep projects on a separate drive.
So yes, this option is crucial.

I agree. This is something essential to me. Also, I would like to have the option to keep the downloads for future installs. I live in an area without the option of a fast internet connection. I get 2mbps at the most. For this reason, I keep the installers on hand in case I need to reinstall or install on my laptop. Being able to specify a download location and have an option to select to archive the download for future use would be awesome.
If you guys could add that while adding the option to specify install paths, it would be a huge help. I’m currently working in a configuration where my Unity archives are on my D drive and all of my Unity installations are on my E drive. My C is pretty much reserved for OS stuff.
So path configurations and installer archiving options for the win! heheh

+1 vote from me for a selectable install path.
+1 from me as well. Unfortunately it is unusable for me like this. Installing stuff on C is a no go.

We are working on this, it will be possible to have an alternative installation path.

Another +1 here. It’s my biggest pet peeve with the asset store cache stuff. I actually moved the folders to a different drive and setup a symlink so I wouldn’t be loading up my primary SSD that I use for my OS. So yeah, +1 for at least being able to specify Unity install location.

Having the ability to set both the install path and the download path would be great to have.

And in the latest version, you can set the install path! After which Unity Hub installs Unity to the system drive, and writes a single file modules.json into a unity named sub-folder of the the folder that you specified… Oh, but still sets up the “correct link” to Unity.exe as being in the folder that you wanted it in, which of course doesn’t work, as it’s actually on the system drive.
It’s very broken right now.

Same problem on windows. My logs are basically the same. Say stuff about installing the modules file to the path but the main editor folder ends up on the C drive.
I didn’t try it but I installed 2018 beta first, not realizing it would not ask me for the install folder. So i uninstalled it.
Found the setting. Set the path. Then reinstalled 2018.
I did not restart UnityHub.
Not sure if any of that might cause it to be in a partial state.

Same problem with install folder change still installing on system drive. Included an image to show that is reporting installation on d: drive but it actually installs on c: drive.
Trying to uninstall the installations on which Unity thinks are on d: drive fails for both programs.
Hi @colinfizgig ,
Thanks for the information, we will be looking into it.
From the D drive path, does the path exist? as in 'D:\Program Files\2018.1.0b11"
A work around for you at the moment would be moving the Editor folder in the version folder “2018.1.0b11\Editor” to your installation path “D:\Program Files\2018.1.0b11”.
Thanks,
Joe
