When creating a new solution within Xamarian studio I get this error Could not install package 'Xamarin.Forms 1.0.6186'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.5,Profile=Profile78', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author. Is there a certain version of .Net that Xamarian Forms requires for it to be included in the solution? I've tried searching in their documentation but I'm only seeing marketing and not real in depth

I'm porting over a Visual Studio C# solution with many projects and creating a new solution in the Xamarin IDE - all on windows. I am porting / re-creating 1 project at a time and then compiling. I can compile each project individually but and then I can compile the solution (with some errors). The problem arises if I try a Rebuild All, then it shows the error: 'Access to the path "[my build path\some.dll]" is denied.' I have full admin rights and, as I mentioned, I originally could build the dll's so it's not an access issue. If I try to actually delete the dll's in question, I can't -

I installed Xamarin successfully and create a new project. With no code at all I'm getting the following error under the references and get errors that Xamarin.Forms is missing. I tried searching and I'm not seeing this same error where the fixes suggested work. Thank you.

Edit: On the Alpha Channel Profile7, Profile49 and Profile78 seem to work. I'm working with the setup that was described here: Getting PCL, Mvvmcross, Nuget and Xamarin Studio to play "nice" on Mac . How do you make a PCL in Xamarin Studio with Async support work. I'm usually using Profile104 which is TargetFrameworkVersion v4.0 I tried the following combinations of the hree different v4.5 profiles Profile7, Profile49, Profile78 with the different versions of Xamarin Studio: Profile7 Profile 49 Profile 78 Alpha (4.1.10, mono=3.2.2) 1 1 1 Beta (4.0.12, mono=3.2.1) 2 2 2 Stable (4.0.12, mono=3.2

I have a Windows 8.1 laptop and I installed Xamarin. Xamarin Studio works fine, but I cannot use the Xamarin integration for Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Desktop. When I want to create a new project, it will not show the templates. Here is what I tried: I deinstalled and reinstalled Xamarin several times. I tried copying the files and following the instructions at http://blog.fire-development.com/2013/07/01/install-xamarin-in-vs-2013-preview-1/ . (Instead of executing devenv.exe, I used WDExpress.exe with admin rights because this is different for the express versions.) Nothing seems
