Is there a known compatibility issue with Visual Studio Enterprise Edition?
Hello there - We're using Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise Edition here, and it appears that it is not compatible with the Unity VS tools. This was the case using the plugin that installed with Unity, as well as the one found here - https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/8d26236e-4a64-4d64-8486-7df95156aba9 (in case there is a difference).
The behavior is that the plugin appears fine in VS, and Unity processes (including on remote Android targets) are detected, but attempting to attach to them fails silently. I've checked the windows application logs, and I don't see any associated errors.
Using the community edition found here works fine - https://www.visualstudio.com/features/unitytools-vs
Using that version, I'm able to attach to local and remote processes without issue. Unfortunately, VS Enterprise cannot live side-by-side with Community, and Community is not meant for commercial developement. Any support is appreciated.
This is a version dump from VS Enterprise -

I promised I searched before posting this, but after posting, I saw this thread that also has no response - http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1206220/visual-studio-2015-debugger-can-no-longer-attach-t.html
Although that thread states that Community did not work, and it does for me.
