Monogame content processor not working

Hi, i’m using Visual Studio C# Express 2013 with the latest version of Monogame (3.2) + MonoGame Content Processors.

And my issue is that it install well with the Package Manager Console ([https://www.nuget.org/packages/MonoGame.ContentProcessors/][1]) [1]: https://www.nuget.org/packages/MonoGame.ContentProcessors/ but when i run the solution it give me an error saying that my Windows version can’t work with the Monogame Content Processors !

I’m using windows 7 (x86).

The error i get :
1> ------ Start of generation : Project: Game1 , Configuration : Debug x86 ------
1> This version of C: \ Program Files \ MSBuild \ monogame \ v3.0 \ Tools \ MGCB.exe is not compatible with the version of Windows currently running . Check in the system information from your computer if an x86 (32- bit) or x64 ( 64-bit) program is required, then contact the software publisher .

How can i get it working ?
No-one else had that issue ?

Hi, you are running the x86 (32-bit) version of Windows. But the MonoGame Content Builder (MGCB.exe) is only available as a x64 (64-bit) program. As far as I know, there is no official 32-bit version of MGCB.

To get it working you have two options:

  • Install the x64 (64-bit) version of Windows.
  • Grab the source code from GitHub (https://github.com/mono/MonoGame) and build a custom 32-bit versions of the content tools.

You can also look up the discussion here: https://github.com/mono/MonoGame/issues/3365
