Developer quickstart

Building a RIG Deployment Platform package is less complicated than it looks. These quick steps should lead you on your way to success.

• 1 Download the RIG Development Kit and familiarize yourself with the files in the RIG Development Kit
• 2 Compile your application to prepare it for inclusion in the RIG package
• 3 Create a background image (and icon, if you so desire)
• 4 Create application metadata files with information about each application in the package
• 5 Create the package metadata file to tie everything together
• 6 Throw in the latest XNA runtime files
• 7 Compress everything into a self-extracting executable so users can get up and running
