I can't use XNA studio with my install of Visual Studio 2022, version 17.4.0.
Whenever I try to install XNA game studio 4.0.vsix I get this error
XNA Game Studio 4.0
This extension is not installable on any currently installed
products.
I installed:
DirectX
XNA framework redist
XNA game studio 4.0 platform tools
XNA game studio 4.0 shared
and i can't install XNA game studio 4.0.vsix
Fixed I just installed Monogame
Of course I suggest using Monogame, but just in case anyone wants the instructions to install XNA:
Download the XNA Game Studio Refresh installer:
XNAGS40_setup.exe
Run it and click through until the error window appears. Leave it at this window
Open the File Explorer and Type %TEMP% into the address bar.
Order by Date and open the newest folder.
Install each of the following: Essentially run every exe and msi file in the folder, ignoring errors.
DirectX
XNA framework redist
XNA game studio 4.0 platform tools
XNA game studio 4.0 shared
Now to the meat: Templates
The easiest solution was to copy the templates from an actual install of XNA using VS 2010... This is hard to do now.
I would suggest downloading an existing project and clean it and modify it to your needs.
There are many projects available via a google search, but here is one from a book.

I recently installed Visual Studio for Mac 2022. I had VS Mac 2019, and it had the .net templates. When I installed VS 2022, all my previous .net templates were gone, even though I selected to install .net templates. When I open VS 2019, it has all of the templates installed, even the ones that I installed with only VS 2022. Is there any way to fix this, or should I just use VS 2019? 2022 vs 2019
Could you please try to set your .NET SDK path?
You can locate it under Preferences->SDK Locations->.NET Core and set the path as /usr/local/share/dotnet/dotnet.
Hope this can help solve the problem.

The Other - .NET project templates in Visual Studio for Mac 2019 require the Mono framework.
In Visual Studio for Mac 2022 the project templates that require Mono have been removed.
Instead you can install the .NET SDK use the project templates that target .NET 6.0, .NET Core 3.1, and these are available from the Web and Console section, if the associated SDKs are installed.
To install the .NET SDK you can either download them directly from the download page or re-run the installer and ensure that .NET is selected.
I am currently working on a Open-Source Project, which has some third-party library dependencies, I have installed all of them using Vcpkg into a particular folder in my E: drive and integrated them with Visual Studio with the "vcpkg integrate install" command, and supplied the Cmake toolchain also in the IDE.
But the libraries (ie. WxWidgets currently) are not being detected while configuring the build.
I am attaching the configuration message as well as the error snapshots below.
Any suggestions regarding this, would of great help.
Thanks & Regards.

"MSBuild is now installed in a folder under each version of Visual Studio." However, I do not want to install a full VS on the server. "MSBuild is now available as part of the .NET Core SDK."
Now that I've installed the .Net Core 2.1 SDK (and the 4.7.2 Framework), what is the path to msbuild.exe?
MSBuild.exe 15 was found after installing the VS Build Tools with no additional packages selected in the install interface.
Edit: Updated link above to go to older downloads. Expand 2017 panel, click Download, login with a Microsoft account, then you will see Build Tools for Visual Studio 2017 (version 15.9) in the list of available downloads.
Edit: increased minor version to 9 to reflect the latest of major version 15.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2017\BuildTools\MSBuild\15.0\Bin\MSBuild.exe
I want to configure opencv with Visual Studio 2012 on Windows 8 x64.
I configured opencv and there is no compilation errors, but when I execute my program I get this error :
The program can’t start because MSVCR100D.dll is missing from your
computer
I tried to install Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) but always the same error.
If it's still relevant, try this tutorial to create project and configure OpenCV directories:
http://karanjthakkar.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/usin-opencv-2-4-2-with-visual-studio-2012-on-windows-7-64-bit/
It worked for me on Windows 8 (x64) with Visual Studio 2012 and OpenCV 2.4.3.
After configuring the paths and libraries in Visual Studio as mentioned in http://karanjthakkar.wordpress.com/2012/11/21/usin-opencv-2-4-2-with-visual-studio-2012-on-windows-7-64-bit/ you need to install the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30679
After restarting your PC, opencv code could be executed in Release mode. If you need to execute the code in Debug mode, then you would have to install the Redistributable version with "D".
This worked with Opencv 2.4.6, Windows 8.1 and VS 2012 Desktop.
Without having any experience with Windows 8 myself, I think this post could solve your problem.
Basically it says that the default system folder for Win 8 is c:\windows\system, unlike c:\windows\system32 on earlier systems. The redistributables probably install to the old system directory, so you have to move the dll to the correct folder manually.
You could also search the file on your PC and put it into the working folder of your program. This is in most cases the output folder, if you run it in Debug mode from VS it can also be the project folder.
Is it possible to create XNA games using Visual Studio 2012?
Yes, it's possible with a bit of tweak. Unfortunately, you still have to have VS 2010 installed.
First, install XNA Game Studio 4.0. The easiest way is to install the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 which contains everything required.
Copy the XNA Game Extension from VS 10 to VS 11 by opening a command prompt 'as administrator' and executing the following (may vary if not x64 computer with defaults paths) :
xcopy /e "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\XNA Game Studio 4.0" "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\XNA Game Studio 4.0"
Run notepad as administrator then open extension.vsixmanifest in the destination directory just created.
Upgrade the Supported product version to match the new version (or duplicate the whole VisualStudio element and change the Version attribute, as #brainslugs83 said in comments):
<SupportedProducts>
<VisualStudio Version="11.0">
<Edition>VSTS</Edition>
<Edition>VSTD</Edition>
<Edition>Pro</Edition>
<Edition>VCSExpress</Edition>
<Edition>VPDExpress</Edition>
</VisualStudio>
</SupportedProducts>
Don't forget to clear/delete your cache in %localappdata%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\12.0\Extensions.
You may have to run the command to tells Visual Studio that new extensions are available. If you see an 'access denied' message, try launching the console as an administrator.
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup
This has been tested for Windows Games, but not WP7 or Xbox games.
[Edit] According Jowsty, this works also for XBox 360 Games.
[Edit for Visual Studio 2013 & Windows 8.1] See here for documentation on installing Windows Phone SDK 7.1 on Windows 8.1. Use VS version number 12.0 in place of 11.0 for all of these steps, and they will still work correctly.
On codeplex was released new XNA Extension for Visual Studio 2012/2013. You can download it from: https://msxna.codeplex.com/releases
I found another issue, for some reason if the extensions are cached in the local AppData folder, the XNA extensions never get loaded.
You need to remove the files extensionSdks.en-US.cache and extensions.en-US.cache from the %LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\Extensions folder. These files are rebuilt the next time you launch
If you need access to the Visual Studio startup log to debug what's happening, run devenv.exe /log command from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE directory (assuming you are on a 64 bit machine). The log file generated is located here:
%AppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\ActivityLog.xml
There seems to be some confusion over how to get this set up for the Express version specifically. Using the Windows Desktop (WD) version of VS Express 2012, I followed the instructions in Steve B's and Rick Martin's answers with the modifications below.
In step 2 rather than copying to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Microsoft\XNA Game Studio 4.0", copy to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 11.0\Common7\IDE\WDExpressExtensions\Microsoft\XNA Game Studio 4.0"
In step 4, after making the changes also add the line <Edition>WDExpress</Edition> (you should be able to see where it makes sense)
In step 5, replace devenv.exe with WDExpress.exe
In Rick Martin's step, replace "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\Extensions" with "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\WDExpress\11.0\Extensions"
I haven't done a lot of work since then, but I did manage to create a new game project and it seems fine so far.
