Install Pain

by Craig Perko · in Torque X 2D · 03/04/2008 (10:06 am) · 3 replies

Hi! I've been using Torque Game Builder since it was called Torque 2D, and so I decided that maybe TorqueX would be fun.

However, it won't install: it says it requires Visual C# 2005 Express Edition and XNA Game Studio Express.

Now, this is a development machine. I have Visual Studio 2005 Pro installed, which happens to include Visual C# 2005. I installed XNA Game Studio Express, it seems to have installed fine, but I get the same error.

Moreover, I can't install "Visual C# 2005 Express Edition" without uninstalling... well, practically every Microsoft product on the machine, including many that I use for other projects. I'm using an XP machine with just about every Microsoft development thing in existence installed.

Any suggestions?

Express should install side-by-side with 2005 Pro. I have them both on the machine I'm using right now.

But, yes, XNA 1.0 and 1.0 Refresh require Express, and TorqueX is 1.0/Refresh compliant.

You shouldn't have to uninstall anything, though.

Ah, I was accidentally using C# express 2008.

If you try installing Torque 2.0 (and XNA 2.0) you no longer have to use VS Express and can use the VS2005 Pro edition ;)
