Unable to open .sln file.
When i try to open the sln file of the project it says this.
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 with SP 1
When I open the projects one by one I'm able to open them. Will i be able to compile each one separate.
NetGore takes advantage of some newer .NET and C# features, so you need VS2010. 
:'( It wont install on my laptop. Would uninstalling 2008 help? then again never tried the express version. Just the professional version. Gotta love being a student with msdn 
Any versions of Visual Studio, even pro and express of the same year (e.g. 2008 pro and 2010 express) should work just fine side-by-side. Microsoft did a really good job at that. But if its not working, then clearly "something" is wrong.
Pro didn't want to install on my computer for some reason but express did just fine. Now working on the mysql issue. I'm not hosting the mysql on my comp. Just the server. Thanks for the info.
If you plan on somehow taking money for your game (donations, item shop etc)
I recommend using express editions.
The MSDN Software is for noncommercial use only,
dont know how well it can be traced.
And for a dev machine, I would recommend running Mysql on your Laptop "when its needed"
(not as a permanently active service)
I post the most embarrising questions here 
Thanks for all your nice replies (I know I would be annoyed by myself slightly )
Yay for free legit MSDN Academic Alliance VS2010 Pro ^^
Try using Visual Studio 2010 Express instead.
