Question

I tried installing XNA GS 4 today only to have it complain that I need to have either windows phone developer's tools, visual C++, or visual C#. I have visual C# 2013 installed already, do I have to download and install an older version of C# in order to install XNA?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Yes, unfortunately XNA won't install unless you have VS 2010. Once you have it, it will actually work just fine with 2012/2013, you just need to copy the installed files over and update the .vsix manifest to allow the newer version of VS.

See XNA for Visual Studio 2013 or http://dementedvice.wordpress.com/2013/10/21/let-me-explain-install-xna-on-visual-studio-2013-and-2012/ for more instructions.

OTHER TIPS

If you download the XNA Enabler application you will be able to install XNA Game Studio 4.0 Refresh into Visual Studio 2012 or 2013. http://what-ev.net/2014/02/19/the-xna-enabler-app-xna-in-visual-studio-2012-2013/
