hello.First of all i want to say i have been waiting for the unity windows release for months now and by the looks of it it’s one of the best engines around.Now…i downloaded the unity trial…installed it and it gets to the splash screen then the process terminates.I tried redownloading it and reinstalling it
but no luck.The log show that it can’t start because attrib.exe…it cannot find the file.I have a amd athlon 2600+ 1gb ram radeon 9600 video windows xp sp2 and the latest drivers but i can’t get it to work.I did send a bug report but i was wondering if anyone else had this problem.
No, we haven’t ever seen this bug. So on which “splash screen” exactly it crashes?
You get the trial/activation dialog (assuming you’re not activated yet), then Unity 2.5 splash screen shows up, and the boom? Where does it show error about “attrib.exe”?
What is the case number of the bug you submitted?
The unity 2.5 splash screen.The one with the 2 rocks and stuff.It happens after i press try.It’s case 167221.The log.txt looks like this:

Was your system PATH modified by something?
attrib.exe is part of Windows, located in C:\Windows\system32 (replace with your windows path if it’s different). See here.
Is your system32 directory on the PATH? (you can check or modify it’s value in computer’s properties, advanced, environment variables IIRC).
well apparently i had no attrib.exe in my system32 folder.But i did manage to find a backup one and moved it and now it works.
