I have installed the free version of Synthiam ARC and Visual Studio. However, my ARC software is not detecting my Visual Studio installation. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this?

Hi sjames,

It sounds like your ARC isn’t automatically detecting your Visual Studio installation. Here are a few things to check and try:

  1. Verify Visual Studio Version and Workloads
    Make sure you’re using a supported version of Visual Studio (typically Visual Studio Community or higher).
    Ensure you have installed the Desktop development with C# workload (or similar) so that the required .NET components are available.
    If Visual Studio was installed in a custom location, ARC’s auto-detect might miss it.

  2. Run ARC as Administrator
    Occasionally, running ARC with administrator privileges can help it correctly read system registry details and detect Visual Studio.

  3. Check ARC’s Settings
    In ARC there’s sometimes an option (often in the Preferences or Developer Tools area) to manually set or verify the path to Visual Studio’s executable (typically devenv.exe).
    Verify that ARC’s installation is up to date. Updates sometimes adjust detection methods for Visual Studio.

  4. Reinstall or Repair Visual Studio
    If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, consider repairing your Visual Studio installation from the Visual Studio Installer.
    Make sure that during installation you include the proper components for desktop development.

Visual Studio integration is especially important when you want to develop custom robot skills (for which you can refer to our custom robot skill guide here: Create a robot skill Overview). If you’re planning to develop or modify skills for your JD Humanoid, proper detection of Visual Studio in ARC will be essential.

Please let me know if these suggestions help or if you have any additional details (like your Visual Studio version or any error messages) that we can work through. Happy building!

Dj is correct. Microsoft has also removed visual studio 2019 from their download page. The rest of the world who can’t use 2022 due to severe bugs obtains vs 2019 community from here: https://archive.org/details/vs_Community

That archived version of the installer will install vs 2019 community
