#Custom restart option greyed out install#

I am confident that once the '+ Custom.' button becomes active, the rest of the interpreter install will go fine.Īlternatively, If there is a lower-level way to add interpreters to the Python Environment, I would attempt that strategy if some guidance were provided. I have restarted my computer and VS many times throughout troubleshooting. I would like to avoid this extreme repair strategy.

The person had the same problem but only recovered use of the '+ custom' button by reinstalling his operating system and VS. Python 3.6, 3.5, 3.4.4 were installed but not automatically recognized. The only interpreter I have successfully added since is IronPython, which is automatically recognized. After restarting VS, Python is still not added, and the '+ Custom' button is greyed out, not allowing me to add the proper Python 3.5 or any other interpreter not automatically recognized. When I 'Applied', the program stopped working. 3.6 wasn't an option in the edition dropdown, so tried to type it in.

VS did not find Python 3.6 automatically, so I tried to add the path manually using '+ Custom.'. After restarting VS, Python is still not added, and the '+ Custom' button is greyed out, not allowing me to add the proper Python 3.5 or any other interpreter not automatically recognized. Trying to add an interpreter to the Python Environment in MS Visual Studio 2015 (VS).ĭownloaded Python 3.6, at the time I did not realize 3.5 was recommended by MS for use with VS. I am a mechanical engineering student with a small amount of c programming experience, about to tackle a personal project using Python, which I will learn to use as-I-go. First time posting! Really stuck, need experienced help.
