I have an issue off of most downloaded projects where whenever I build it, VS2010 just crashes. I had this issue a while before, and it was widespread, I reinstalled, and it worked fine afterwards.

If I create my own XNA project, and copy all of classes and assets over (which I admit, is super fun anyway) things build fine.

But if I just download the project from here http://create.msdn.com/en-US/education/catalog/sample/roleplaying_game (RolePlayingGame_4_0_Win_Xbox.zip) and try to build, it automatically stops working, restarts, and reopens the project. If I Debug/Deploy to my Xbox, I do get a sucessful version to the Xbox, but VS2010 still stops and restarts.

When I use Windows VS Express Phone etc, it works no problem. :/

I've already repaired, and reinstalled again, still having the issue.

Can anything think of plausible solutions?

Have you tried redownloading and reinstalling your XNA Redistributable? – Jonathan Hobbs Jun 5 '12 at 5:27
Yes. One on its own with a repair, once with VS2010 – user13909 Jun 5 '12 at 13:29
Is VS2010 service packed and patched up? What happens if you do a command line build? – Oskar Duveborn Jun 5 '12 at 16:56
Mhmm, and when I do command line, I get denied access issues. Just found that out now, thanks. – user13909 Jun 5 '12 at 20:39
