HOW TO INSTALL ZUNE GAMES

[bluebomberqb]

k i downloaded all the carp and installed it but whenever i open any of the unziped rar filles it always says Error 2160: The package game requires a runtime that is not recognized by this version of Xna pack. A newer version of XnaPack may be required to unpack this game, or package may be invalid

Hope for a response
thx

Which version of XNA did you install? You need to install Final for most of the games.

I extracted all of the games from 7-Zip, but when I hit open project, go to the folder full of games, open the folder that I extracted, and open the specific game, there is nothing in there. What do I do?

Are you downloading individual games?

You need to make sure you open the solution, if you're using source.

[devinb2013]

Let me put this better, I DLed your bundle of games, I then extracted them all with 7-Zip. I then went to C# to put them onto my zune (which is a 30, if that matters) So I went to the folder 'Zune games package' then 'XNA 3.0 Final' I opened up ZuneHero and there was nothing in that folder (browsing in C# of course) I then opened up other random game folders and there was nothing in them either. I have the final version of XNA. I dont see what I did wrong.

[Bolt]

Don't browse in C#. Just open the folder they were saved to, and double-click on any of the .ccgames. They're self-extracting. You only need to use C# for source.

New problem, Message comes up, Error 2160: The XNA framework runtime required by this game project is not available on [Name's] Zune. The following information may provide more detail: unknown error during method invoke.

Unfortunately, I havn't seen that error message before. On to Google..

EDIT: After some searching...

It won't work unless you follow the instructions above with precision.

Nvm. Just unplugged then replugged and it worked again, thanks!!!

No problem. I just found that solution a second ago, too.

I'm having trouble installing the C#. I'm running a Vista x64 bit PC and it keeps telling me to download Software Update Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1. So i clicked the link it provided me and downloaded the required update from the actual Microsoft webpage.

Problem is, it won't even install itself onto my pc. I'm utterly lost.

I am having trouble running the deployment when adding my Zune. It give me this message;
Could not connect to [Zune name]. Make sure the device is connected, awaiting deployment, and the Zune software is not running.
I have followed the rules to fixing it but still no luck. Need help, thanks.

You stole my line.

Ok, so I am a little confused here....I have a zune 120, and I love it, but I believe in all the uses possible for an item such as this! So, my zune came with software version 3.1 and I am interested in all the stuff I can do with it. I have read alot of stuff on the boards, yes I used the search button, but there is not alot of clarity on the software version and what works with it. So, what all cn I do with my zune 120 3.1?

Thanks! Sorry for the wall o' text!

[Bolt]

Yes, you can play any of these games with the 3.1 firmware

I downloaded Visual C# Express 2008 first, then the XNA Game studio from your links. When I tried opening it, it said "You have not registered to use this copy." and it won't let me open it...

[Bolt]

All you have to do to register is sign up using an email address. You don't have to pay anything.

It is a little annoying, but there's nothing you can do =\

Okay so I'm a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff. I installed the three programs you said to and then connected my device like told to. I did all that but I don't think I was ever told where to get files for the games to put on my Zune? Is there a separate website? I'm very confused

p.s sorry if this is a stupid question and/or you already said this like I said I'm a noob
