I tried doing this and when I tried installing the C# program, it sorta worked. when it was installing one of the components, it says that setup.exe is not responding... i redlled it and same thing.

Any help?

[Cobija]

hmm... try changing the device as your default on C#2008.

[birdman]

i have i've used both default and my zune but it gets the same result.....

[runtohell121]

kind of weird.. i only get that error code when my zune isn't my default device on the C#2008.

Deploying to Birdman!...


this is what i keep getting is something wrong with that?

[runtohell121]

uhh.. maybe your .NET Framework is out of date.. people say it requires 3.5 .NET Framework.

[birdman]

i downloaded .net Framework SDK 3.5 and still get the same thing

[runtohell121]

try updating the whole computer.

[birdman]

dude this seems like a whole lot just to put a game on the zune.....im just going to say screw it at this point. ive been getting too worked up over it

how do i make it locate the framework SDK because this is the only consistent thing problem i seem to be getting out of all my error messages. If i can find that and do whatever i need to do to it to make it work then maybe itll work

[runtohell121]

i have no clue and please don't double post.
