• I have searched for my issue and not found a work-in-progress/duplicate/resolved issue.
• I have not been informed if the issue is resolved in a preview version of the winget client.

Category of the issue

Installation issue.

Brief description of your issue

If Unity gets updated/upgraded using the CMD command,
"winget upgrade --all"
then the new version will get installed to the wrong path.

Steps to reproduce

Just update Unity using winget.
winget upgrade --all

This is the path that it will install:
C:\Program Files\VERSION_NUMBER_HERE
Example:
C:\Program Files\Unity 6000.3.6f1

Instead it needs to be installed to:
C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\VERSION_NUMBER_HERE
Example:
C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\6000.3.6f1

Since the installation is not going into the correct path, then the Unity Hub cannot see the installed version and the user cannot select the new version.

Workaround # 1: Install the new version using the Unity Hub like most/normal people will do.

Workaround # 2: Install the new version with the "winget upgrade" command.

Then move the folder "Unity 6000.3.6f1"

From "C:\Program Files"
To "C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor"

And finally rename the folder "Unity 6000.3.6f1"

From "Unity 6000.3.6f1"
To "6000.3.6f1"

Actual behavior

The new version is installing to the wrong path.
C:\Program Files\VERSION_NUMBER_HERE
Example:
C:\Program Files\Unity 6000.3.6f1

Expected behavior

The new version needs to be installed to the correct path.
C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\VERSION_NUMBER_HERE
Example:
C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\6000.3.6f1

Screenshots and Logs

Please upload logs & screenshots since they will help us to find the root cause of the issue. You can find the location of the logs by running winget --info.

I think it is safe to skip this section. Also, I already provided the "winget --info" on the previous question.

[SpecterShell]

The installer itself by default installs the program into C:\Program Files\Unity ***. WinGet doesn't change the location unless the --location switch is specified, but Unity Hub would change it to C:\Program Files\Unity\Hub\Editor\***.
