I use Unity 4.3.1f1 pro
I want Unity to open scripts for editing in Visual Studio 2008 instead of MonoDevelop 4 by default.
I know it is possible to tell Unity to use VS 2008 and “synch” it but then it opens the scripts in MonoDevelop 4 anyway.
I’m looking for a workaround that prevents Unity from opening MonoDevelop 4 instead of VS 2008.
Apparently there is no uninstaller for MonoDevelop 4 either.
Just because you didn’t say you had: Did you change the editor for Unity under Edit → Preferences → External Tools? Make sure the setting stayed changed and somehow didn’t revert back to MonoDevelop.
I have changed the external script editor and created a solution file (project file) by selecting Assets → Sync Mono Develop Project
The solution isn’t corrupt. I can open it in Visual Studio. But when I double click a script in Unity it opens MonoDevelop.
I have discovered that Visual Studio also runs but its GUI doesn’t appear. Unity runs a new instance of Visual Studio every time. However VS doesn’t appear. Instead it shows the script in MonoDevelop. Deleting Mono Develop doesn’t solve the problem.
Has anyone managed to sync Unity 4.3 with Visual Studio yet? I have used Unity with Visual Studio 2008 for a few years now.
See the issue tracker - might be the same problem. If so, add your vote.
Looks like it. I’ve just assigned all my votes to this issue. Thanks.
