I am trying to install Accelerator from the simple Win10 installer as described under Unity - Manual: Unity Accelerator
After stepping through all the wizard steps, it will fail repeatedly at the very first breath with the following message:
Any idea what goes wrong here?
My installation settings are the most simple I can imagine (just want to use the accelerator locally)!
=> and then ist goes bang (as shown above).
Specifically, there is no prompt at all from my firewall (Win Defender)
More things I’ve checked in advance (to no avail):
-
Added specific rule to Win Defender, allowing outgoing connections for the installer
-
Disabled Win Defender completely
-
made sure to have downloaded the correct installer, using the official links:https://accelerator.cloud.unity3d.com/api/v1/accelerator/download/installer?target_os=windows&download_location=manual
https://accelerator.cloud.unity3d.com/api/v1/accelerator/download/installer?target_os=windows&download_location=lts-releases -
Unity version is 2020.3.3f (running fine otherwise).
-
Made sure that neither Unity Editor nor Hub are running in the background
-
Tried with admin privileges, but this fails with another error already after unpacking of the archive (no access to win’s startmenu folder - what: even as admin??)
