    Hi guys,
    i have major problems with my Visual Studio. I want to install the Unity Tools on Visual Studio 2019, but i get the error you can see in the attached picture.
    It says that i can´t activate the tools because they want some "Visual Studio MPF 15.0" and i haven´t found anything anywhere to solve this problem.
    Maybe you guys can help, please?

    Best regards

    Same. I reverted to VS2017 and everything is good again. Going to wait a while before trying 2019 again.

    Hello,

    This is an issue with VS2019 that should be corrected soon. You should hit this issue only if you tried to disable/re-enable the extension.

    As a workaround, you should try to close VS, then go to:
    c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Visual Studio Tool for Unity

    And edit the file extension.vsixmanifest, removing the line:
    <Dependency Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.MPF.15.0" DisplayName="Visual Studio MPF 15.0" .... />

    Regards

    There is no sub directory named Visual Studio Tools for Unity inside of Extensions. Yet i do have the extension in my Visual Studio. I just can't enable it.

    Try C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Community\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\Visual Studio Tools for Unity

    Support for 2019 seems very hit or miss. The plugin doesn't work half the time for me.

    This doesn't work for me. I still can't enable the extension with the same dependency error.

    Could you try to upgrade your VS 2019 installation. 16.1 was released today and should fix your issue.

    I could not get VS 2019 working with Unity either. Files are being opened with the Notepad, extension association is lost.
    I made an association manually using WIndows, but Unity opens just the file I clicked, not the whole solution like VS 2017.
    So I reverted to 2017 for now.

    Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Unity is installed directly in "C:\Program Files (x86)" for me on Windows 7 SP1. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio" just contains a "Installer" directory full of .dll alongside three folders.
