Installing games/XNA on your zune - How to install Zune Games

[brr404]

I am having trouble putting the GW3 game on can you help me ?? I already tried debuging it and it found one error ... so what do i do?

[runtohell121]

no need to debug.. just try and click deploy.

Hey, I need some help. I followed the tutorial to the tee, and I get the error: "Error 1 The given path's format is not supported." When I try to deploy.

I've already reinstalled both Visual C# and XNA and tried, no go. I also tried starting over several times.. Nothing.

I have a Zune 80gb, if that makes a difference.

What should I do?

[SilverDragoon]

Awesome thanks... i'm a little late on the reply, been too busy to keep up with everything .

Here's a couple of fixes
1) Change your zune's name to Zune
2) Make sure the software is closed and your zune isn't syncing
3) Make sure your using the latest software and programs

Every time i try to install Visual C#, it always gets to about 3 out of 61 megabytes done, then it says: Setup.exe has stopped working. I can't get it to install!

I get this message whenever I click the Zune icon...I can press CONTINUE, but nothing happens....

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

What do I do? I REALLY want this to work!

Using VISTA x64 with SP1. Downloaded everything in the 64-bit IE the second time, and still did not work....installed with all options...what do I do!??!

[scorpiosuccubus]

I'm still having issues.

[GI_Josh]

This XNA install is ticking me off.....still won't work.

[juicycook]

so it finally worked and downloaded. i updated to vista SP1 which may have made a difference or something. now everything is all good. thanks for the guide. =D.

[runtohell121]

glad that it worked for most people.. btw.. i should say.. people try updating your computer before installing xna+c#2008

[Mikerocks]

When I try to add my zune to the XNA I get an error after I click on zune. Here is a screenschot.
Nevermind I can't post links.

[runtohell121]

maybe your drivers can be faulty.. be sure to have the zune software close first though.

[scorpiosuccubus]

I downloaded Windows XP sp3, recently.. Do you think that that would be my problem?
I was thinking about downgrading, anyway. My stylexp stopped working. D:

[runtohell121]

not sure.. it can be the problem. i'm using vista and i have no XP computers... all my computer runs fine.. with vista sp1.

Ok this is really jacked up for me here so idk what to do.

i open up the c# and the XNA studio thing and then hook up my zune. everything is up to date (2.5)

as soon as i hook my Zune up it says Connected (on the zune) but i dont have zune stuff on my computer open


so now when i go to the XNA deal and click on +ADD DEVICE i pick zune, and my zune shows up

so when i click on it to test the connectivity with my computer, the zune doesn't say connected anymore, and it takes me to the main page on the zune (music, vids, podcast, settings, etc...) for only a split second then reboots itself

after all that i get this message


XNA Game Studio Connect
connection attempt failed
exit



so i went to try and do the +ADD DEVICE thing again and i go through all that again


I really need some help i've been gloating to all my ipod buddies about how zune has games and ill fer sure get my ass chewed out if i cant deliver lol
