is there a way to fix this? I really don't understand..
Thank you for any help

 

Try running unity as an administrator.

 

I tried and it still showed me the message . I run windows 8.1 on a 64 bit computer if that can help... When i restart the PC unity works for a while but then gives me the same message and i do not like restarting my computer every 15 minutes.

 

Try turning off your virus software. I had to turn off the real time scanning when I started getting that error.

 

It works fine now. Thanks!

 

thanks

 

THANKYOUUUU

 

Running as admin worked. Thanks

 

I am 13 and have the same problem. I ask my mother if she can and said where i got the solution from, and she says "Well it must not be a very good site, no-one turns their virus checker off" -facepalm- are there any other solutions that don't include doing so?

 

you can make a change in your script, like adding a space at the end (a change that doesnt affect the code), then save the changes and the error should go away. you might have to do it more than once sometimes. and you dont need to turn off you mcafee real time scanning either.

 

And how would a mac user go about this? I'm having the exact same problem [UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "/Users/myName/.local" is denied.] but I can't see any 'run as administrator' option?

 

ok apparently entering the command sudo /Applications/Unity/Unity.app/Contents/MacOS/Unity in the terminal starts Unity from the root. Now I need to add this somewhere in bash_profile so that i don't have to do it every time I run the application

 

Absolutly genius! Thanks!!!

 

your welcome, glad I could finally help someone

 

I am so stupid i have been creating file and before there i created folder of the same name and it gave me this message as well. :S Sometimes S*** happens

 

- Go to file and cut & past the file some where else.
- Then press the try again button.
- Again past that file to the privious path.
- Now, when you press try again key; unity start running.

 

Another workaround that did the trick for me was to just remove the script component from the game object in the inspector and then put the script component right back.

Rebooting and making minor changes to the script did not work for me but removing and then re-adding the script component worked in Unity 2019.2.13f1.

 

change the path of the building place

 

Thanks so much
I ran unity hub as administrator
and its works
