When I try to build a new project from the Silverlight 3D application template I get the following error.
 
Error 1 The project file "..\Silverlight3dAppContent\Silverlight3dAppContent.contentproj" was not found. C:\Users.....\1cbbbxyx.dji\Temp\Silverlight3dApp.csproj 109 5 Silverlight3dApp

I have problem from the start of creating solution. It report that template of Silverlight3dAppContent and Silverlight3dWebContent is cannot be found so it can't create those two project, left those empty folder

The issue occurs for me when I create a project in Visual Web Developer 2010 Express using the “Silverlight 3D Application” template. I have not been able to create a solution with the corresponding 4 projects:

Silverlight3DApp : The main project
Silverlight3DAppContent : The content project attached with the main project
Silverlight3DWeb : The web site that will display the main project
Silverlight3DWebContent : A content project attached to the website if you want to stream your .xnb from the website instead of using embedded ones. This will allow you distribute a smaller .xap.

I just installed XNA 4 , Visual Web Developer 2010 Express Silverlight_5_Toolkit_December_2011.msi and the vbd.exe for visual studio.

When I create the new project using the “Silverlight 3D Application” template I do get 4 project folders created in my directory structure. The “Silverlight3dApp” and “Silverlight3DWeb” folders contain normal project files and sub-folders. However, the “Silverlight3dAppContent” and “Silverlight3dWebContent” folders are empty.

I wonder: Is there some underlying XNA api that I'm missing. Do I need to install something that allows XNA and Silverlight 5 to interact?

I also have this problem(\Silverlight3dAppContent.contentproj" was not found).
I have uninstalled and reinstalled visual studio and silverlight a few times but no luck. When will this issue be addressed?

When I create a new "Silverlight 3d Application" project in VS 2010, I get the message "A problem was encountered creating the sub project 'Silverlight3dAppContent'. The template specified cannot be found". And when I buind, I have 2 errors saying that the .contentproj files couldn't be found.
I have installed all the necessary for Silverlight 5 (Tools and Toolkit december 2011).
Please see attached file for the error message.

Finally After 3 days of searching and lots of dead ends I figured out this issue. Has the same problem silverlight3dAppContent could not be created. The problem is that XNA game studio 4.0 refresh is not XNA game studio 4.0. Basically if you only install XNA 4.0 refresh the toolkit won't function. Install XNA 4.0 (which will install with xna 4.0 refresh already installed..) and that should solve this issue.

Didn't notice any trouble through installing: VWD 2010 Express, SP1, SL5, SL5Toolkit. However after then installing the Windows Phone SDK (for XNA) and reapplying SP1... I cannot create or open solutions containing content projects. The template is available, but I receive an error message like the one pictured above.
