Ahh...that could be my problem then. I get an error when trying to open the projects that they aren't compatible or whatever. Anyone know where myself and others can get a version of C# 2005? I tried download.com and Microsofts site but couldn't find it.

*EDIT*

Alright, I found a link to C# 2005. So, I uninstalled 2008 and XNA. I then installed 2005, and now, when I go to install XNA, it says that I need to have C# 2008 in order for it to install. I'm out of ideas as to how to get this thing to work.

[runtohell121]

try updating your computer... only need to download the one that it was selected.. and try to restart your computer along with checking if it has been installed incorrectly then uninstall it.

I need help...

I have no idea what I'm doing... i downloaded everything fine...then when I went into the program I didnt have the right font so I got that... now it says that it doesnt support solution folders and my zune is a solution folder so it says unavailable... What is the .sln file that you need for the alien game?

[runtohell121]

which game? Galatic Wars 3? when you open it.. it all say that always.

[soxfan2546]

I dont know...I'm confused... in the big space on the top left of the program is says this...

and I have no idea what any of it means

[runtohell121]

try extracting the file again.. delete the first one.. redo everything and see will it still be like that.

I did that and deployed it and it gave me 2 warnings...

now it says that it is not connected to my zune... but on my zune it says waiting for computer...

[1ofamillion]

i now have both games on my zune!!! well their not too fun, but they are better than having no games lol....pretty fun, but graphics could be better in my opinion.

[soxfan2546]

yaaaaaaaaaaay...

I got it... but I forgot to change the controls...

thanks for the help

[the..edge]

I keep getting the "not supported by installation" error

It leaves me with no option to debug or deploy (GW3 or AA)

[trustaugustus]

If zune 30 owners are having a problem with GW3 heres a little bit more information on it. Do exactly what runt said and change players.cs files. Then when you load Galactic wars 3, select start debugging. You will get an error when it initially loads, but after you debug it will automatically put it on your zune. Also you dont need the Zune pad version of Alien agressor. Cheers and thanks Runt.
