I haven't bothered to check, hold the line caller I'll see if I can wrangle my memory to get it working.

The MXA installs for installing XNA Game Studio are still on the XNA Game Studio Archive here
https://github.com/SimonDarksideJ/XNAGameStudio/wiki/GettingStarted
There are still only catalogued up to the 2017 version, but it's not that hard to unpack the MSIX installers and update them to newer versions (seen it working in VS2019) but the Visual Studio Team are deprecating older features that the XNA GS depends on as far as I know, so the better route is to still use the versions compatible with these installers for accessing XNA content.

The archive is still slowly updating XNA content to MonoGame, but it's slow progress with only one hand on the wheel ;D

Is it working on VS2022? On create new project, I get "The system cannot find the file specified. (Exception from HRESULT 0x80070002)". I already do gacutil.

I have the same problem now. Did you find any solutions or not yet?

I have no solution yet, but you can use Windows Form Project then reference XNA dll.
If you only use Texture2D or SoundEffect, you can use FromStream Method (I tried this).
Or you can use other techniquess to create .xnb, either google it or maybe use MonoGame Content Builder to create .xnb (I didn't try this).

Maybe it's possible to decompile vsix and force it to create .xnb using some googled techniques, but I didn't try it.
