XNA Reference enabling

Question

Dear all I wanted to start a small project which involves my 'Xbox 360 Controller for Windows'. To make use of this device I have to add the Microsoft XNA Framework reference. I downloaded the xna framework redistributable 4.0 and installed. Afterwards I should be able to add the reference of this redistributable but I can't find it in the reference list of VS2010... Does anyone know what I have might forgotten or overseen? I restarted Visual Studio but it remains unfindable... Any advice? Thanks in advance! Greetz!

i think you need to download the XNA 4.0 SDK and install them. When you start your VS2010 and start a new project you can choose an XNA 4.0 project. All necessary libraries and references will automatically added to your project. The XNA Framework Redistrubutable is only used for runtime not for development. hope this helps
