Hi All,
I get an error when trying to installMicrosoft Visual Studio 2005 Premier Partner Edition Installer. It tells me that I don't have VS2005 and cannot install. I thought this
could be used with the Express editions? Is this true? I tired to install XNA without
this but it would not work.
Thank you,
Paul
Do you get the error when trying to install XNA Build or is it really in the setup for the PPE (Premier Parter Edition)? The PPE is Visual Studio 2005 so that's an odd error message you're getting. Could you post a screenshot of the error your getting and post a link here? Or could you copy down the error text exactly as it appears on the dialog? When do you get the dialog (instantly, mid setup, etc)?
XNA Build does not integrate with any Visual Studio Express product. If you don't have Visual Studio 2005 standard or above you will be asked to install the PPE so that XNA Build can integrate with it.
Thanks, please let me know more so I can help!
Hi, I was during the install of the PPE originally. When
I tried again to get you some screen shots it worked fine and then
XNA installed fine.
Thanks for posting this code, nice to see how the pros do it.

Why doesn't XNA integrate with Express editions of Visual studio?
I think its a missed opportunity here. Lots of my students use the express edition (which is free) and now they still have to invest money to be able to develop games with a framework that is essentially free. Why not keep the costs down and integrate it with express?
