I’ve been trying to install MonoGame, but when I open up Visual Studio, I don’t see any template files. I have XNA installed, but I have Visual Studio installed in a non-default drive. No reinstalling or file copying makes any templates visible.
I’m not sure how to get the templates working, but you should just be able to create a C# project and then add the appropriate Monogame assembly as a reference to your project. Just make sure you’re using .NET 4.0 for the application. The only thing you’ll be missing are the basic Program & Game classes, which ave very easy to replicate.
The install location of Visual Studio shouldn’t matter. Templates are installed in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#\MonoGame.

They should be, but they aren’t. The files aren’t anywhere on my computer.
