'Unable to install visaul studio properly and toolchains required for unity
After a fresh windows 11 install I haven't been able to get visual studio and building a game in unity to work.
Visual Studio 2019:
After I install visual studio with the correct modules for unity. it shows up in the installer as "installed" but when I turn of or restart my computer it does not show under the Installed section. Also when I open visual studio it gives a "Failed to load common IDE package" error. Referring to a file in: C:\Users"user"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\VisualStudio\16.0_971410d4.
I have tried:
- Repairing visual studio.
- Repairing visual studio and deleting the before mentioned directory.
- Complete reinstall of the installer and visual studio.
Unity:
When I try to build my game I get this error: error:
Could not set up a toolchain for Architecture x64. Make sure you have the right build tools installed for il2cpp builds. Details: UnityEditor.BuildPlayerWindow:BuildPlayerAndRun ().
I have tried:
- Reinstalling the current engine version (Unity 2021.2.13f).
- Upgrading the engine version to (Unity 2021.2.14f).
- Reinstall Unity 2021.2.14f.
I think these two problems are tied together but I'm not sure.
