Visual Studio Tools for Unity plugin doesn't work

Question

My system:

1. Windows 10 Pro 1511 10586.36
2. Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Community 14.0.24720.00 Update 1
3. Unity 5.2.0f3
4. Visual Studio Tools for Unity 2.1.0.0

My error:

When select File->New->Project->Templates->Game i only can see two templates: Cocos and Unreal Engine. There is no Unity project template. However in all articles i was able to find it was said that i only need to install Visual Studio Tools for Unity and the Unity itself to achieve integration. What might be wrong with my installation and setup?

Answer 1

Current workflow with Unity3D is to create project from Unity3D Editor (Unity 5.2.0 in your case) not VS2015 and then navigate from that editor to VisualStudio / MonoDevelop / VSCode or any other IDE of your choice. Unity3D creates whole solution structure itself and Visual Studio Tools for Unity acts only as a bridge between Unity3D Editor and Visual Studio to allow you to attach to Unity process for debugging purposes, go to file functionality from Unity3D Editor etc.

Thanks for replies, your comments pointed to the solution. I actually expected that VS should work with Unity as with any other type of the template project like Win32 or MFC.

I found series of videos where was pointed out how to install VS with Unity. Here is link

I reinstalled VS and followed video's advices and now demo project is built and work correctly.
