visual studio is not working

Visual studio is not working. Im a begginer in game developement and i tried to download vs for scripting but after i click install an error comes up saying " sorry, something went wrong ". i dont know what else to do. If you have any suggestions please help. (im using the vs community 2019 and unity personal edition)

 

Unfortunately, VS is a Microsoft product and that error is a bit vague.

I would just check the normal stuff. Make sure you have enough space, that the location you are trying to install to isn't a big long path or some weird location, make sure your download wasn't corrupt. You can download VS on it's own as well and just install the Unity part of it, or Unity has it listed in their installer as well, so you might try either version.

If all else fails, restart your computer and try Googling the problem/error message.

Otherwise, it's difficult to know as we don't know your computer.

 

@Brathnann i have tried so many things and i still cant find a solution .. as i said im a beginner so i might be missing something from the beggining. Can you please tell as a game developer what are the steps so that i can properly use the unity app.

 

There aren't any special steps. When you install VS, they give you a new module menu and you can select just Unity if you want. If it's not even installing, you'll have to reach out to Microsoft. Only other thing I can think of is make sure you get the proper version. Not sure if VS even has a 32 bit version, but if you are on 32 bit windows, just be mindful of that.

Unfortunately, I can't really offer much other help beyond that. Again, I don't know your computer. There is only so much troubleshooting I can do over the forums.

 

@Brathnann man thanks so much for your help , i finally found the porblem. The problem was the vs community its self so i just changed it to vs code.

 

Good that you found something that works for you. I'm not personally a fan of VS code, but I know there are people that use it and like it.
