Problem starting the Managed Samples

I'm trying to get started by doing the DirectX\Samples\Managed\Direct3D\Tutorials, but I can't seem to get them to run. When I try to open the solution file, I get an error message box that says

"The application for project '...DirectX\Samples\Managed\Direct3D\Tutorials\Tutorial\Tutorial1.csproj" is not installed.

Make sure the application for the project type (.csproj) is installed."

Any ideas Thanks so much to all of you who are more experienced and willing to answer our silly questions.

    I assume you have visual studio installed ( and not version 6 )



  • Ganeshgoody

    The managed samples are 95% in csharp with the remainder in VB. There are no C++/CLI samples.

    So either switch to the native samples which should load into express, or download c# express.

    You're leaving out information that can help us help you:

    Which SDK version

    Which Visual Studio version



  • topgun2710

    I'm using DirectX SDK (April 2006) and Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition

  • Vladimir Sapronov

    I've only seen this error when you did a partial VS install and didn't install one of the languages. e.g. you only installed VB and then you tried to open a solution that included a csharp project.

    I wonder if you also get it if you only have VBExpress installed and you try to open a solution file with csharp projects.

    Hmm, interesting.

    Unfortunately, the C++ Direct3D solutions don't seem to compile either. This was addressed in another post...

    ..but the guy who answered didn't leave with any way of how to get it working. I get the

    error PRJ0003 : Error spawning 'cl.exe'.

    And don't know the first thing on how to fix it. He said something about DXUT...
