| | Help Installing XNA When ever I try installing Microsoft XNA Game Studio Express It stops installing when it says "Registering project templates". This is what it looks like: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a2...t/Untitled.jpg I am on Windows Vista RC2. I have allready installed Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express Edition but the XNA part wont install. Their website says it should work with Vista but it doesnt for me. |

| | Re: Help Installing XNA Click on the Start Orb, type "cmd" (do not hit enter), right click on the Command icon in the menu above, choose Add to Quick Launch. Then right click on the Command icon you placed on the QL and select Properties. The Shortcut tab on the Properites page will display. Click the Advanced button ant then put a checkmark in the Run As Administrator box. OK out of Properites. Now you can run the command prompt with administrator rights anytime you want. Running the msi file should work now.

| | Re: Help Installing XNA Hi, An alternate method to Colin's: Click start, type CMD. In the menu you should now see the command prompt at the top. Right click this and choose 'run as administrator'. It should prompt for permission (UAC) to run. The prompt will be at the C:\Windows\system32 folder, type: "cd %userprofile%\desktop" (no quotes) and hit <enter>. Now type: "xnagse_setup.msi" (again, no quotes) and hit <enter>.
