Requirements for compiling an XNA project

Monkey Targets Forums/XNA/Requirements for compiling an XNA project

Hello all.
I am setting up various targets in Monkey so i can compile for debug purpose.
I have been able to set up Android and glfw and i spent nearly an entire day to try and set up xna...i gave up.
I installed everything that is listed in the monkey help and i get an error pages long.
Something along the lines:

It seems it can't find the target but i installed all the required libraries and updated etc etc.
Tried with different versions of monkey as well.
I deleted the builds folder etc etc.
Does anybody have any idea?

No idea what went wrong but a reinstall of both visual studio and xna sorted the problem...weird!
