Hello everyone. I recently had a second disk drive installed on my computer and at some point during installation the registry files for Visual Studio were damaged, requiring me to do a uninstall/reinstall of both it and XNA. Problem is, I have the choice to either install it back onto the C: drive where it was originally, or attempt to install it on the new E: drive where it is supposed to be stored, and both options are having errors.
When I install VS on the E: drive and install XNA over it, VS is capable of correctly identifying XNA and I am capable of creating a new Game Project, but the created project will not build or run, giving this error:
The "BuildContent" task could not be loaded from the assembly Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.Pipeline, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=842cf8be1de50553. Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Content.Pipeline, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=842cf8be1de50553' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. Confirm that the <UsingTask> declaration is correct, that the assembly and all its dependencies are available, and that the task contains a public class that implements Microsoft.Build.Framework.ITask.
Possibly related, all the reference components in the References folder for the Content project as well as the Avatar, GamerService, Net, Storage, and Video reference files from the main project are marked with yellow exclamation marks indicating they are probably missing or not working correctly.
When I attempt to install VS on the C: drive and install XNA over it, VS doesn't recognize that XNA is on the computer at all.
I'm sorta stumped here, and I need to have this working for class. Any ideas what the issue might be?
