MonoDevelop not working in latest version 4.1.4

Updated to 4.1.4 on Windows 7 this morning and now MonoDevelop stopped working!
All I get is a blank window with two blank dialog popups. Is anyone else having this problem?

 

Same here, on Vista. Ouch.

It's slightly different for me, there's a larger sized monodevelop-unity window (nothing rendered inside the border, it's transparent), and then a smaller window about the size of the ones in your screenshot.

*blink*

 

Just replying to say that I am having the same issue. if you resize the first error window it will show the error message.

 

What's the error then?

I just reinstalled 4.1.3f3 and was able to run MonoDevelop again no problem.

Same here on Win7. Here's the error after resizing the window.

 

Same here, windows 8!

 

Same problem, same error message.

 

Alright, though I'm not using MonoDevelop, seems like this release is buggy. Was on my way to updating. WAS.

 

Same thing here. Had to revert as well.

 

Hm, looks like an oops with our automated build environment.
Dropping http://files.unity3d.com/levi/MonoDevelop.exe.config into Unity/MonoDevelop/bin/ (next to MonoDevelop.exe ) should allow you to launch MD as usual.

 

I had exactly the same issue and can confirm that the config file fixes the problem. Thank you Tak!

 

Yup, that fixed it, thanks for the quick work!

 

Thanks for the quick fix!
Working now.

 

Fix worked for me on Windows 8 after re-launching Unity 4.1.4. Thanks!

 

Fix confirmed.Thanks for the quick response Tak!

 

Fixed it for me too, thanks!

 

Fix confirmed. Thanks Tak!

 

Fix didn't work for me here, even after restarting Unity and the entire computer. Using Windows 8 - I have another install of MonoDevelop for non-unity development as well though.

 

I still have the following problem:

Also fixed for me. Thanks Tak! Cheers!

 

Didn't work for me. Same error.

 

I just downgraded to 4.1.3 and there it works. So there ist somethink wrong in 4.1.4.

 

The new *.exe.config file doesn't work - same error!

I've just installed Unity 4.1.3 again and MonoDevelop is now working.

 

had same problem. restarting / reinstalling didnt work, but copying in that config file did the trick. Thanks
( windows 7 home premium)

 

Ok, I need the fix too, but that link goes nowhere. What's the scoop? (Thanks, in advance, for any hand-holding!)

 

link worked for me, just right clicked and "save-target-as" http://files.unity3d.com/levi/MonoDevelop.exe.config

then save it to... Unity/MonoDevelop/bin/

 

Grazie mille! My frustration had disconnected almost all of my circuits! I will look for a way to repay your kindness.

EDIT: No effect. Maybe I will uninstall everything and, after re-install, prior to running anything I will grab this file again. fyi.

 

Thank you, JonnyHilly, but I tried the above ... to no good effect. Reverted to 4.1.3 and Mono works again and everything is fine. I will wait for the much anticipated 4.2 and try again then. Thank's again.

 

Same Problem,



On windows 8

Edit : Ok now working fine and no probs after the fix..Wonder how could unity make this simple misatke

 

Fix doesn't work on my XP SP3 with Unity 4.1.4
I reverted to 4.1.3 and MonoDevelop works now.

 

Finally got this to work on Windows 7 pro 64bit.

Thanks for the fix!

Be careful that windows doesn't rename the file MonoDevelop.exe (removing the .config) when using right click "Save file as..." that stopped it working for me the first few tries, and may be why it doesn't work for some users.

I saved target to desktop, then checked the name, deleted the original, then moved the file to the correct folder just to be sure.

Cheers

 

Fix don't work.
Same problem

 

The fix works but I am unable to type the " and ' symbols in monodevelop.

 

The fix downloading the file did not work here (Win 7) either.

 

Fix file worked for me on Windows 7 Pro SP 1.

Just copied and pasted the file into mentioned folder (while Unity3D and MonoDevelop was closed down).

Thank you for that! Was getting so annoyed to have to edit JS files with no intelli-sense in an external editor.

 

I checked mine and it works with the " and '. Must be your keyboard or something screwy in windows.

 

Still doesn't work for me on Windows 8 with 4.1.5f1:

 

Tak,
THANK YOU. Your solution solved the problem for me. Thanks again!!!

 

thank you this fixed the issue for me on my Windows Vista and my Windows 8 machines!

 

As far as I can see, Unity just release 4.1.5 which resolves exactly that issue.

Edit: Missed the post of Coderdood, who still has the issue with 4.1.5.

 

Thanks Tak! That did the trick.

 

I had the same problems with version 4.1.5f and the .config file was not the problem. Turns out, I had installed the PS Mobile 1.00 toolkit last year, and it included a separate installation of GtkSharp. I uninstalled GtkSharp and removed it from my system PATH, and now MonoDevelop runs properly. Running 64-bit Windows 7.

 

Had the same problem after upgrading to 4.1.5f earlier. The .config tip didn't work but based on Void's suggestion, I looked through my installed programs and found a "GTK# for .net" installed so removed it and mono started properly afterwards

Weird thing is I had no problems with this with 4.1.3 so I'm guessing Unity changed something in this release to use the system wide GTK or something? Either way, sounds like a bug to look into for Unity guys.

 

ty @ nac void you solved my UNity 4.1.5 issue! http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/185513-MonoDevelop-not-working-in-latest-version-4-1-5

 

I was having this issue when I upgraded to 4.1.5f. Tried the config fix to no avail. Rolled back to 4.1.3 and now MonoDevelop refuses to start with no error messages or anything. I'm on Windows 8.

Anybody know how to hook Visual Studio 2012 Express up to this thing? :-D

**edit wow, I wasn't actually expecting to find a way to use VS2012. I'll be using it now, but I still would like the devs to know this issue is still out there with MonoDevelop!

*** further edit -- found nac's solution where you remove "GTK# for .net" and it worked for me. I don't know what put it on my machine but it is dead now. Thanks for the help, everyone!

 

What worked for me was to go into Control Panel -> programs and uninstall GTK. Then reinstall Unity.

 

Thanks, this did the trick for me!
