Hello!

I'm trying to install VisualD but am unable to check the option to integrate in VS2019.

Have anyone else encountered this?

Have you rebooted in between install Visual Studio 2019 and VisualD?

I have VS2019 installed. Is not 2019 Enterprise supported?

Are you sure you have fully installed VS and then performed a reboot?
As in, opened VS up?

This is almost always the issue, idk how to help beyond this.
Maybe somebody else has an idea.

Yes. I tried to install visual Studio by ticking that checkbox but it doesn't seem to register the click so I gave up.

 It seems I've got no choice since I need visual studio for something else so I'll try a different approach. Both the dmd installer and visual d installers don't work for install VS 2019.

I suspect that recent updates of Visual Studio 2019 have changed the way the installation is registered.

The installer iterates over the uninstaller registry entries to find the installation folder with an appropriate name, so you can add an entry there, e.g.:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\VS2019]
DisplayName="Visual Studio Community 2019"
InstallLocation="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio\2019\Community"

Do you find a similar entry in your registry? Maybe it has an unexpected DisplayName?

Interesting! I will take a look. Because I am using Enterprise edition, maybe something is different

OMG, it actually worked! Thanks!

What I did was to simply add the following key and values (VS2019 did not exist):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\VS2019]
"DisplayName"="Visual Studio Enterprise 2019"
"InstallLocation"="C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft Visual Studio\\2019\\Enterprise"
