Zune Extensions can't be installed


I wanted to port my Game (XNA 4.0) from WP to Zune HD, so I downloaded the Zune Extensions installer. Unfortunately, Zune App were only supported until XNA 3.1, so I downloaded XNA Game Studio 3.1 and installed it without any errors or problems. But when I launch the Zune Extensions installer, it says that XNA 3.1 should be installed before... -.-

Why can't XNA 3.1 be detected, when 4.0 is installed too? I don't want to deinstall the newer version, I just want to develop a Zune App!

There must be a way to develop for WP and for Zune HD on the same machine, but how?

Cheers


Solution

  • Okay, the devil was in the details...

    Instead of installing XNA Game Studio 3.1, I took XNA Framework Redistributable (I don't know why it was on top of Google results)...

    With the actual Game Studio 3.1 everything worked fine, i.e. "A-Type" was right:

    VS2010 supports XNA 4.0 (exclusively) and VS2008 supports XNA 3.0/3.1 (exclusively).

    Unfortunately, to convert a 4.0 Game to 3.1 (for Zune), I will have to create a new Project in VS08 and copy the original files into it by hand.
