Hi there,
I've installed XNA on Visual C# Express and it seems that a template is missing : When I want to create a new project, I have only "Windows Game Library (XNA)"... Shouldn't be "Windows Game (XNA)" also be here
I've unsintalled then reinstalled XNA but without success.
Here is my configuration:
- Windows XP SP2 French
- Visual Studio 2005 Pro (90 limited day) : uninstalled to install VC# Express
- Visual C# Express French
- XNA Beta 1 (XGSESetup-Beta1.msi - 93 MB) : full installation
- Old DX9 SDK (Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK (June 2005)) -> Uninstalled ! But the XNA Sample i've downloaded worked great on VC# Express (built and run)
Am i missing something Like installing a proper DX9 SDK (and then reinstall XNA)
Thanks
Problem with XNA Installation

Hi,
Thanks for your answer. I've just installed the DX 9 SDK package (dxsdk_aug2006.exe) and nothing has changed, as expected. However, i've not installed the Visual C# Express on the default directory, perhaps this issue is caused by that...
On my installed folder (on "\Common7\IDE\VCSExpress\ProjectTemplates") i've those files :
- SpaceWar.zip (96 MB)
- XnaWindowsGame.zip (5 KB)
- XnaWindowsGameLibrary.zip (3 KB)
It's very weird that I can see only the XNA Game Library Template ...

Edit : I've changed the template directory in the Options window, and it's recognized now !
Thanks for your post :)

The project templates aren't part of the DX SDK. Check your Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\VCSExpress\ProjectTemplates folder - does it contain the SpaceWar and XnaWindowsGame zip files along with the XnaWindowsGameLibrary zip If not, your installation is probably hosed. Try uninstalling and reinstalling. If they're there then it sounds like C#EE isn't recognizing them. I'm not sure if they need to be registered as templates or not. Maybe someone smarter than me can comment.
Oh, and you didn't need to uninstall VS 2005 Pro - it runs fine alongside the Express versions.
