We are currently having problems with visual assist at the 360 sdk. It seems if you have Visual Assist installed before installing or upgrading the SDK when you then try and compile anything we get loads of R6034 errors and nothing will compile, has anyone had anything similar to this?

I havent't updated my xedk for a while as im doing other stuff right now but I had no problems w/ vax upto 142x builds. Maybe some more recent xedk introduced some problems.

Before we dig too far, how does the SDK effect the IDE? Does it include an add-in?

Does uninstalling VA X resolve the problem?

You mention, "if you have VA install before..." which makes us wonder if the problem occurs if you install VA X *after* installing/upgrading the SDK.

Some earlier versions left a file around that caused some odd behavior when compiling applications. Maybe the same is happening for you. Try removing devenv.exe.manifest from the directory in which your devenv.exe lives.

The SDK for the XBox360 contains a add-in to copy files to the console.
I re-installed the XBox360 SDK and the problem went away.

There must be some overwriting information somewhere in the registration.

I have this problem as well. Didn't occur with the earlier version of VA I had (1418 I think). I installed the latest (1445) and started getting this problem. I still have this problem after uninstalling VA. I have the 360 XDK installed and it fails for xbox builds, but not others. Breaking into Devenv.exe with windbg yields the following callstack for the thread that shows the r6034 dialog error. Not sure if that is the final culprit, but looks promising. Hope this helps, next task is to try re-installing the XDK.

Re-installing the latest xdk has made the problem go away. Not sure what is up.

I believe this is because VAX seems to delete or rename the .manifest file in the same directory as devenv or cl.exe. Without the manifest file, you will see these errors.

for a while VA used to add a manifest file its self, specifically devenv.exe.manifest
however VA no longer does this, and it tries to remove it if one is found. we discovered that having the manifest file could cause problems.

can anyone confirm that removing the manifest file (a file that is not there by default) causes problems? anything is possible, but this does sound odd to me.

Yep, I renamed devenv.exe.manifest to something else, started devenv, started an xbox build and I get the error box. I try again after putting the file back and everything works. Seems like the culprit.

the manifest files were discussed in this thread a while ago:

http://forum.wholetomato.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=3952&whichpage=1&SearchTerms=devenv.exe.manifest

it does seem that they can cause problems, but no one mentioned anything quite like this. one suggestion was to delete the 'bin' and 'obj' folders from each of the project directories and then do a full rebuild.

unfortunately i am not sure what else to suggest.

Would like to bump this thread - the Xbox XDK apparently does require a devenv.exe.manifest file in the VS.NET/Common7/IDE directory in order to successfully build Xbox 360 projects. Hopefully wholetomato will remove the code that is deleting the manifest file, but in the meantime here's a very easy way to workaround this for others getting this problem.

1. Reinstall your XDK
2. Make a backup of the VS.NET2003/Common7/IDE/devenv.exe.manifest file (i.e. devenv.exe.manifest.bak)
3. Each time you install a new version of VAX, manually restore the devenv.exe.manifest file from the backup you made.
4. Requires a restart of VS.NET for it to take effect.

Works like a charm - nothing else is required (i.e. contents of bin/obj folders don't seem to be relevant at least for the XDK's dependency on the manifest).

what could possibly go wrong? :D

out of interest do you have any idea why the SDK would require a manifest file?

as for the installer, i will chaise support about this. we have the slightly tricky problem that people without the XBox SDK installed need the manifest removed, if we think VA installed it, but people with the SDK need it left alone.

Fixed in 1530.

VA X no longer touches devenv.manifest.exe during install.

Me neither, and I have used both VAX and the XDK for ages.

As a consumer? Fat chance. You'll need to be a registered Xbox 360 developer. Also, those things cost around $10k :). But that all seems way off topic here on wholetomato. I suggest you call or email Microsoft.
