❔ .NET 4x not installing
I tried to install multiple different versions of .net 4x but none of them actually installed, while the installer tells me that the installation was completed succesfully when i check the sdks in the cmd only .net 6 shows up, any advice?

Simple
.NET Framework 4.X didn't have the CLI stuff
so it has a different install directory?
No, it has no CLI
It won't show up with
dotnet --list-sdks or anything of the sort
It will not work with dotnet new
Or dotnet build
Or anythingyeah but i also looked into the directory
and it was not there
Idk, maybe it installs as a part of the OS or something
Old Framework was weird
Why do you have to use an ancient version, by the by?
might use everything to search .net 4 related files and find it
because afaik unity requires it and i'm trying to fix intellisense not connecting to unity
Ah oof ouch
I'm afraid I won't be of much help, then. I neither know Unity nor the antique versions of .NET
just found the directory, apparently it did install
it's in a completely different place
np, i found some guides, the only problem was the lack of 4.7.2 which should have been solved
if it still doesn't work i will try asking in the unity discord
$unitytools
Quickstart: Install & configure Visual Studio Tools for Unity
Quickstart: Learn how to connect Unity and Visual Studio for cross-platform development. Visual Studio Tools for Unity offers support for writing and debugging.
thanks but i'm using vscode
its there too
Correct me if I'm wrong, but hasn't VS Code support for Unity been discontinued...?
I vaguely recall that it was nothing more than a result of some hackaton and not an actual serious plugin
it does not require it
vscode support for unity was deprecated
you have to use vs2022 or rider
unity ships with a custom MonoCLR setup
its a whole thing
so yes, this is correct
i tried to install vs but i really don't like the ui and it takes a lot of storage space
but ig i'll have to switch to use intellisense
You can always buy Rider
Or see if you qualify for $freerider
There are two ways to get Rider for free:

Using it for an OSS project: https://www.jetbrains.com/community/opensource/#support
