XNA Game Studio Express 1.0 Refresh can be download free of charge at XNA Developer Centre. However, there are certain requirements need to be fulfilled. A Direct3D 9.0 video card capable of supporting at least Shader Model 1.1 is a must on the machine. Recommendation is the graphics card that supports Shader Model 2.0 since many samples and starter kits require it.
Before XNA Game Studio Express 1.0 can be downloaded and installed, there are 3 more applications that needed to be downloaded and installed first. There are
1. the latest DirectX runtime updates (the full DirectX SDK is not required)
2. Visual C# Express
3. Visual C# Express Edition SP1
When I installed Visual C# Express, I taught it was OK to proceed with the XNA Game Studio Express 1.0 installation. But, I got the error message saying that I need to install Visual C# Express Edition SP1. But I’ve tried to installed Visual C# Express Edition SP1 straight (skip file no.2), the installation won’t work. You have to install Visual C# Express Edition SP1 on top of Visual C# Express. Yup, that’s the tip if you having this kind of trouble.

This blog contains reports and sequences of my decisions made while designing and implementing my game for my MSc Dissertation. This will help to track my progress and effort, and should prove a useful reference for me to design, build, and extend my game. Also can be a reference to XNA community or anyone who wants to involve in a PC or XBox game development.
