Hello, I have just installed Unity, but whenever I open it, it says taht there is an 'Internal compiler error'. This does not let me enter Play Mode as it says "All compiler error must be fixed before you enter play mode!".

I have already tried uninstalling, CCleaning, restarting, CCleaning again, and then reinstalling but to no avail.

My program path is:

C:\Files\,Programs\Creating & Editing\Unity

Here is what the error says:

Internal compiler error. See the console log for more information. output was:error CS0006: cannot find metadate file 'C:/Files/'

error CS0006: cannot find metadata file 'Programs/Creating & Editing/Unity/Data/Managed/UnityEngine.dll

Details when I click on the error in the Console:

Internal compiler error. See the console log for more information. output was:error CS0006: cannot find metadata file `C:/Files/'

error CS0006: cannot find metadata file `Programs/Creating & Editing/Unity/Data/Managed/UnityEngine.dll'

error CS0006: cannot find metadata file `C:/Files/'

error CS0006: cannot find metadata file `Programs/Creating & Editing/Unity/Data/Managed/UnityEditor.dll'

I really hope somebody can help me. I can also supple "Editor Log" if necessary. Thank you!

My bet is that it is having issues with the & and , in your folder structure

Try installing it to somewhere with a more normal path
