Installation instructions:

Windows:

Download Windows build: UQM_XNA_Melee.rar

Required components:

1. .Net 2.0 PLUS the C++ 2005 SP1 Redist -OR- .Net 2.0 SP1

.Net 2.0 comes already installed on Vista RTM so you only need the C++ Redist for vista machines
.Net 2.0 SP1 will not install on Vista RTM - you must install it by installing either Vista SP1 or .Net 3.5
You may have either of these 2 already installed from such places as Visual Studio SP1 or Games For Windows Live but don’t rely on other places if you are writing an installer.

2. DirectX9.0c
3. XNA runtime 2.0

More info on the components needed available here (http://forums.xna.com/thread/9924.aspx).  Keep in mind this project is made with the 2.0 XNA Framework.

1) Register for this contest- https://www.dreambuildplay.com/main/default.aspx
Leave “Are you an XNA Creators Club member?” checked as No.

2) Verify that you are now able to deploy games to the Xbox.

Download XNA Game Studio Connect on your 360 from the Xbox marketplace under Game Store -> More… -> Genres -> Other -> XNA Creators Club -> XNA Game Studio Connect (not Game Launcher).  If you can run that without the Membership required screen popping up, you should be able to deploy games to your 360.

3) Install Visual C# 2005 express (hmm.. maybe this step isn’t necessary? try skipping to 4)
