Visual Studio 2008 Pro

by Peter J. Fischel · in Torque X 2D · 03/25/2010 (5:08 pm) · 7 replies

I just purchased Torque X 2D and install it. I then go to create a project in Visual Studio 2008 Pro and all I get is a message box informing me that this project is not supported by this version of Visual Studio. This makes no sense because the engine states that it does run on VS 2008. Not really wanting to use Express.

Anyone have an idea what can be going wrong?

Thanks,

The message when I try to load tankbuster or even create a new solution is "The project file 'C:programmingTankBusterTankbuster.csproj' cannot be opened." "The project type is not supported by this installation."

The demo programs compile and run under Express with no problem.

not to sound stupid or anything but do you have XNA Game Studio 3.1 installed?

Cause i'm not having a problem opening any of the projects at all and I'm using VS 2008 Pro also.

Hehehe ok... nevermind. Seems I installed XNA Game Studio 3.1 before I installed Visual Studio 2008 Pro.

Thanks for the help guys.

@Peter

Does that really make a difference? Installing XNA Game Studio before VS 2008?

Also, I'm pretty much content with the express versions of VS. But what does the Pro version have to offer that's not in the express versions?

Can you even install Game studio without installing VS? you must have had express installed.

I really don't know what I get with VS2008 that I don't get with express outside of changing the editor colors ;) I am certain there are others but I am a simple user. I got VS2008 as part of an MSDN package a client paid for so I am using it..
