I am getting very frustrated because I am unable to install a working Unity program and I could use some help because I am clearly doing something wrong. For background this is what I’ve tried so far.
-
I downloaded Visual Studio 2022 (version 17.1.2) from Microsoft with the desktop .net and Unity options checked. This created an Unity HUB on my desktop (windows 10).
-
Using the HUB I downloaded the recommended version of Unity (2020.3.32f1) and tried to learn from the Rollaball example. This went fine until I went to write the script which is where things fell apart.
-
I noticed immediately that the Visual Studio syntax checker wasn’t working. I put some deliberate errors in the code to test this. By itself this would annoying but more importantly:
-
The code did not compile correctly. It (the code) kept looking for Game Object attributes that were defined and listed by Unity but apparently not recognized.
-
OK, So something may have gotten corrupted. Time to uninstall Visual Studio and Unity and start over with fresh installs. So I uninstalled Visual Studio, Unity, and Unity HUB then again installed Visual Studio 2022 and then using the fresh Unity Hub I installed the recommended version of Unity. I figured that if this didn’t work I’d uninstall everything again and start a fresh install via a newly downloaded Unity Hub and install Visual Studio 2019 via HUB as Visual Studio 2022 doesn’t seem to work (and yes, I looked on line to see if others had this problem. Some did and I tried some suggestions but no joy)
-
I’d like to say this worked but reinstalling Unity was a complete failure. I cannot even create a new project! When settings for the project come up no matter what I type in the “Project Name” field I get the message “Path already exists” so I’m stuck. There is no point trying to do another uninstall and reinstall cycle until I can figure out how to get past this failure.
I’d appreciate any help on these failures.
