Source Required - Error During 2.0 Install

    Source Required - Error During 2.0 Install

    Reply Quote
    I just uninstalled the 2.0 beta, and tried installing the 2.0 release and got this error when it was installing the Games For Windows LIVE redist:

    Setup has detected that the original source is necessary to continue. Please redownload and execute XNAGS20_Setup.exe


    So I redownloaded the installer and tried again. Still the same error. Any ideas or suggestions? I'll give it another shot after work I suppose.

    I got that too.  I uninstalled Games for Windows Live redist and the project 2.0(beta) updater thing; rebooted and it let me install.

    Gotta love the MSI. Did you possibly delete the beta installer? I have found too often that if you delete even just some "left-over" components of an installation, you may not even be able to uninstall correctly. Try redownloading and reinstalling the beta, uninstalling it, then installing 2.0.

    I haven't tried yet, but I do know that un-installing the beta does not un-install the Project Upgrade wizard. Maybe you still have that floating around and it's causing a problem?

    I can also confirm that uninstalling my current games for windows live redist did the trick

    I can't find any reference to windows live redist, either in my start menu or in my uninstall programs window.  Did you manually delete this?

    Never mind, I am blind I guess.

    That fixed it, installing happily now.  Oh look, Game Studio Connect is there too. Time for some fun.

    Thanks everyone!

    Wow, I think Vista installed faster than GSE2.0....I'm currently 15 minutes into it, and at 35%

    ...and the grand total is 24 minutes.

    On my computer, it took about 3-5 mins if that.  On my laptop, it took a long time.  Both are higher end machines...guess the harddrive is slow in the laptop.  Oh well, its worth it.

    Hmmm, the long install for me was also on the laptop, but it has a 7200rpm drive, and it is also fairly high-end.

    Install worked fine on both my desktop and laptop, taking only a couple minutes on each. Uninstalled just the beta versions, non the GFW redist. Gotta make a note to get the new 360 Connect app when I get home.

    I wonder if this was only a problem for people who already had GFW installed when they installed 2.0 Beta?

    I don't recall installing the redist and its not on my control panel or on my hardrive(redist shows no results in search(Vista)).  I get the same error though.  What is the location of the redist? Sorry Its been a long night.
    Thanks

    I had the exact same problem too, but fortunately, I found a way to fix it.

    If you pay attention, you'll notice (at least for me), it'll complain about this "sources" thing while it tries to install the Games for Windows - Live redistributable. Now, the reason I have that in the first place is because I already have a Games for Windows game (H2V).

    Basically, there's some kind of a conflict with the Redist. All I did was go to Control Panel, and just uninstall the Games for Windows - Live redistributable. Then tried installing GSE 2.0, installation, and all of my Games for Windows games worked fine.

    Hope that helps.

    I have the 1.0 Refresh installed, do I need to uninstall that first? 

    Along the same lines, what are the differences between the two?  Is there somewhere to find that out?

    @shawnre:

    No, you most certainly do not have to remove XNA 1.0 Refresh. You can install it along-side XNA 1.0 with no problem.

    You can find the download page here , and the XNA team blog page should help you find any answers to your questions.

    ty for the links, that did provide the answers I was seeking. Also ty for the Windows - Live Redistributable uninstall suggestion, that appears to fix the error I was getting (the same as OP btw).

    Hey everyone,

    Turns out there's a bug for our installer around the Games for Windows Live Redist installation if you are upgrading from the beta.  We detect that GFWL is installed, so move into repair mode.  MSI uses the last known location of the installer... but given that we moved the execution location of the installer, resolving source fails. 

    As you've figured out, the workaround is to uninstall your old Games for Windows Live Redist through Add/Remove Programs and to reexecute xnags20_setup.exe.

    Sorry for the difficulties with the installation!  Thanks for sticking with it :)

    That's it. Games for windows live installed with the beta2 was preventing the new installation on XNA 2. Just uninstall Games for Windows Live (as XNA beta2, redistributable and upgrade wizard) and XNA 2 should install just fine.

    Hmm, I just installed XNA 2.0, and I already have the Live redist., but I didn't get any installation problems. It only happened in the beta :X

    Oh well, hope my advice helped =]
