[Vuforia][Windows] Vuforia package fails to install with "Failed to locate Unity.exe" when path is not set to Unity/
Some users get confused which path should be selected when running Vuforia installer on Windows. An error is returned when any other folder except Unity/ is selected.
An error indicates that user should be selecting a folder where Unity.exe is but instead user is required to select a folder where "Editor" folder is.
Forum link: https://forum.unity.com/threads/update-to-vuforia-7-2-fail-failed-to-locate-unity-exe.541524/
Steps:
1. Run Vuforia installer (UnitySetup-Vuforia-AR-Support-for-Editor-2018.3.7f1.exe)
2. Select folder where Unity.exe is (for example, C:/Program Files/Unity/Editor)
Expected: An error is shown: select a folder where "Editor" folder is located.
Actual: Error: "Failed to locate Unity.exe"
Reproduced with: 2017.4.21f1, 2018.3.7f1, 2019.2.0a6.
Workaround: select parent folder of Editor folder, for example, "C:/Program Files/Unity" instead of "C:/Program Files/Unity/Editor"
Note: no issues on macOS.

What about people who have a problem with Unity Hub? My Unity Hub always cancels the download (says the file is corrupt!), so I can only use torrent for now.
This is an issue that affects ALL your installers.
No need for a "fix", just write a more clear message in the installation window, for example:
"Select the parent folder of the Editor folder"
That's it! -

Why is this set as Won't fix?
This workaround does not resolve the issue, at least on Windows for Unity 2018.4.
Is there any solution? -
