XNA Install issue

XNA Install issue

So I'm pretty new to game development and have had experience with C# in the past. I got MonoGame downloaded and installed without issue, but when trying to get the content pipeline through XNA, I came upon this error:

A problem was encountered creating the sub project 'GameName1Content'. The project file 'C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Local\Temp\hvxmt0wt.ypt\Temp\GameName1Co.csproj\ cannot be opened.

There is a missing project subtype.
Subtype: '{6D335F3A-9D43-41b4-9D22-F6F17C4BE596}' is unsopported by this installation.

Now honestly, I have no clue what I'm doing when using XNA or MonoGame. I've been following the tutorials, downloaded the script and used it and it seemed to install without a hitch, but it's only when I try to add a new project to the game that I encounter this issue. Any help would be appreciated!

Do you see the XNA templates after you run the script?

No, they don't seem to be showing up.

OK, then the script didn't work correctly. I've had a couple of other people have this problem too. I can walk you through the script manually in the chat room some time, but probably not for a few hours until after I get home from work.

But really, since a few people are having problems with the script, I need to get to the bottom of the cause. I've got a few things I want to try out, and I'll do that tonight or first thing in the morning. So if you can just wait 24 hours, I'll try to get you a script that fixes this problem (assuming I can track down the problem).

That's awesome! And I really appreciate the amount of effort you put into these tutorials, so thank you very much. I'll be fine with waiting and seeing what you come up with. Thanks!

Kankuro, I think I might know the problem. Are you using 32-bit Windows? My script didn't handle that before. It still doesn't, though I made a second script for 32-bit Windows, so if that's your problem, go give it a try!
