Recovering developnment environment

Projects Programming
1

Hi all,

I had my environment all set up (previous design that I inherited) so that I could build/modify code for an ESP32 project. The environment involved MSVS, Arduino IDE and VisualGDB.

About a week or so ago, I tried to add debugging to the environment and found Visual Micro (apparently the NEW arduino IDE for visual studio). unfortunately, by installing that, I broke my environment for changing/building and have spent the past week (ish) trying to re-establish my environment.

I have, unfortunately found, that Visual Micro is all that is available out there and my old tried and true method of rebuilding my environment has failed like 20 different ways not. Visual Micro will NOT look for previously created projects. I did find an old version of the IDE but now the visual studio 2019 won't find the extension nor can I find an msi with which to install the IDE.

So, I'm turning to the community to see if anyone has ideas about how to reassemble my environment.

I have no clue about the Microsoft stuff (you should ask for foreign software on their forums) but the Arduino IDE can simply be re-installed and used. You can open an old project and the IDE will compile it as it did previously. If it doesn't, please provide the complete error message you get (no pictures!)
