.UNITY file extension is associated with UNITY UNINSTALLER

I accidentally chose the uninstaller and now I can’t un-associate it. :sweat_smile:

How can I get the .UNITY file, to associate with the Unity EDITOR, rather than the Unity UNINSTALLER?

I can’t get windows to accept the editor executable… it plain out refuses for some reason.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hi @JeffDUnity3D

Yes I tried those methods… It’s really strange I can’t get the file to re-associate. I PM’ed you a video showing what happens.

Hi @JeffDUnity3D

Did you mean this “set Association”? This doesn’t work. :sweat_smile:

It doesn’t matter… if I’m the only one with this problem I’ll just live with it.

I’ve had similar problems in the past with other softwares. The only way I managed solving it was by editing the registry.

Search it for “.unity” without the quotes and check “full word only” (not sure if it’s called that because my Windows is in French) and delete the .unity results you find; there might be more than one. Save your registry before doing that. Then restart your computer and reassign .unity to the correct value. :slight_smile:

@ Thanks so much for the advice. I’ll keep it in mind when I get desperate enough :smile: … I’m not comfortable playing around with my registry.

For now I just delete the projects I don’t want Unity to load. I found this way it forces Unity to open up the project I want.

Being able to open up the .UNITY file would have been the best solution to opening the correct project… but oh well. :hushed:

Your screenshot doesn’t show that you changed the file association. What happens when you set Unity and not the Installer, using Change Program? You’ll need to be an administrator.
