UE4 does not open VS Pro

Hello all,

I recently got a pro license for VS2017, and installed it (I was using the community version prior to this). The issue I’m having is that I uninstalled the community version, and now when I select Open Visual Studio from the file menu in the editor, it doesn’t open anything. I noticed that before uninstalling the community version, when I would open up the Pro version, the name tooltip for VS would have a (2) at the end.

Is there a way to point the editor/engine to a specific .exe for VS? Simply selecting VS2017 in both engine and project settings does not help.

Thanks!

Was hoping to avoid this, but the only way I was able to get it working was to uninstall every version of VS 2017 I had on my machine, and then only reinstall the Pro version.
