I have Windows 8 and installed VS2010 and VS2012. I've installed XNAGS 4 refresh. But when I open VS2010 there is still no templates for XNA. And in VS2012 there is only Pipeline Library and Content Project. I don't care about VS2012. How can I make it work in VS2010?
Try these visual studio XNA extensions, they work for VS2010, VS2012 and VS2013:

(Just download the latest release and follow the instructions that come with the package)

After installing Update 4 for VS 2013, I immediately started getting the message
This project is incompatible with the current version of Visual Studio
when I try to open all my MVC projects.
I've tried following advice on older posts, such as changing the version of visual studio, and checking for other updates, but none have worked.
I am using Visual Studio Premium 2013 and have .Net 4.5. It happens to projects that target both 4.0 and 4.5.
This is happening with MVC projects, but it does not happen when opening a simple project containing only .cs files.
Repairing Visual Studio turned out to be the solution.
I believe the initial update was unsuccessful because the C drive was low on space. Clearing up space, and repairing both .Net 4.5.1 and Visual Studio did the trick.
I have (just reinstalled) Visual Studio 2013 Professional (on Win 8.1) to try and fix this: If I try to create a new Web Project, for either .Net 4.5 or 4.5.1, then I see the screen below.
If I try to open an existing MVC 5 website (one I've just created through that wizard on another machine) - then it works just fine.
Equally, if I set the target framework to 4 then I get the previous MVC 4 template appear, and that works.
If I look in the Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\Web\CSharp\1033\ folder then I see WebApplication45 which appears to contain the content that this project template uses - so why is it broken!?
The machine did use to have VS2012 on it, and I notice that in the list of installed products for 2013 it has 'ASP.Net Web Frameworks and Tools 2012.2' - which I believe is a VS 2012 thing. So I'm wondering if that's interfering with it. But there's nothing on my Add/Remove programmes for this, so I don't know how to uninstall it!
Any help greatly appreciated before I throw my screen through the window :)
Please try the following:
Close VS, open Explorer and go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual
Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies
Delete the following assemblies if they exist:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Contracts.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Explorer.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Internal.Contracts.dll
Restart VS
In Tools > Extensions and Updates:
Update to lates VS2013 update (it is Update 3 now)
Install if not installed Microsoft ASP.NET and Web Tools
Install if not installed ASP.NET Web Forms MVC 4
Install if not installed MS VS ASP.NET MVC 5 Scaffolding
I solved it by removing all programs connected with .Net development and SQL (just being really cutthroat) - not just Visual Studio; going down my installed programs list from top to bottom:
Visual Studio 2013, obviously
All .Net Framework SDKs and Language Targeting Packs
All Azure tools SDKs (some start with 'Azure', one starts 'Windows Azure')
All SQL Server stuff - possibly too much, but I didn't need them outside of VS
IIS Express
I then rebooted and deleted all remaining Microsoft Visual Studio folders (I had v10, 11 and 12) from Program Files (x86) and all remaining SQL Server folders. SQL is also in the x64 program files, and that's used legitimately by the OS, so might want to skip that one.
I then rebooted again and reinstalled 2013 with Update 3 - and now the new project dialog works as expected.
It's most likely the removal of just one of those things that fixed it (my money is on clearing down the VS folders).
I fixed this by deleting these files from C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies:
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Contracts.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.WindowsAzure.Explorer.dll
Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Internal.Contracts.dll

Does anyone know how to properly install XNA Game Studio 4.0 with Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 ? I have been having trouble getting the XNA Game Studio to recognize the Visual Studio. I read that once installed you should be able to run Visual Studio from under the XNA folder in the Start Menu, but I found no such option. I have an assignment due in a couple of days and I'm really in a panic right now to get this installed right. Any help will be much appreciated.
I'm running PC with Windows 7 installed and I just installed Microsoft Visual Studio Express C# 2010 and Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0.
Please give step by step instructions if possible. Thanks for taking the time read this post!
Start Visual C# & create a new project. You should be able to choose either Windows Game or Xbox 360 Game as your project type.
I had the same issue. I just reinstalled XNA Game Studio 4.0, loaded visual studio and then clicked on XNA Game Studio 4.0 under Installed Templates. Hope this helps.
I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and I after searching for XNA Download on google, I found this page:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/xna/archive/2010/09/16/xna-game-studio-4-0-available-for-download.aspx
Following the link there, I get to this page:

So this is kind of confusing for someone starting out.
What is the latest release version of XNA I can use for PC/WP7 game development?
Where can I find the installer to download it?
I don't need a bootstrapper to download Visual Studio for me, as I already has the IDE installed. Thank you!
Here: Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 download.
Also see Windows Phone Developer Tools: Offline ISO Image.
But note that the Web Installer available here will only download and install what you need. Since you already have Visual Studio, it will just integrate itself nicely.
The latest version is XNA 4.0. The bootstrapper is a smart installer and only installs the components you are missing. For example if you have Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate then it is not going to install the Express version as well. It also includes a Windows Phone emulator if you are interested in that. And here's the direct link to the installer.
I downloaded Spark 1.1 release from http://sparkviewengine.codeplex.com/releases/view/27601 and cannot find the msi package for Visual Studio integration promised in docs.
Can anyone explain why?
For VS2008 support, I'm not sure why it's not included in the latest downloads on codeplex, but you can still get the .msi from the download on spark downloads page.
For VS2010, the answer is a little bit more complicated. The short version though is that the visual studio editor changed drastically in VS2010 and the way the old plug-in was providing intellisence is no longer appropriate.
I was able to get the msi installed and working from 1.0.39935.0 with 1.1. I had to close and re-open VS and a few pages.
