Why do I see the message ''Error launching the editor: The application path does not exist''?

Symptoms:

When I attempt to create a new Project or open an existing Project, I receive the ''Error launching the editor: The application path does not exist'' error message.

Cause:

The ''Error launching the editor: The application path does not exist'' error message is caused by the Unity Hub not being launched with the correct permissions. Without the correct permissions, the Unity Hub cannot gain access to the file path needed to launch the Editor.

Resolution:

If you are using a Windows device, right click the Hub icon and click Run as Administrator to launch the Unity Hub.

If you are using a Mac, follow the guide in the below link and enable root permissions to resolve the issue causing the error:

More information:

If you continue to experience problems after running the Unity Hub with administrative permissions, contact Customer Service with your Editor & Hub log files.
