Hi I was trying to setup XNA for Windows Phone 7.1 in to visual studio 2013 and i was using a command prompt code to help set it up "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /setup Once i ran the code it told me that the file did not exist so i tried fixing the code however no luck then i looked in that directory and i could not find devenv.exe and i was wondering why i did not have this file although i had already installed windows phone sdk i was just setting it up for use in visual studio 2013. Please Help

Hi,

>> i looked in that directory and i could not find devenv.exe

Do you mean you can't find devenv.exe in the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 12.0\Common7\IDE\? If so, I guess it's because you didn't install your VS in path C:\Program Files(x86). Please open VS first to make sure that your compiler can start. After VS can be opened without any problem, please search the "devenv.exe" file in the windows explorer to find the installation directory.

By the way, the devenv /setup command is typically given as the last step of the installation process. Use of the /setup switch does not start Visual Studio. You must run devenv as an administrator in order to use the /Setup (devenv.exe)
