I don't wanna use monstrous VS2010 (which requires .net4 & silverlight4) on my home notebook so I found way to extract Microsoft XDE from "Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone CTP"
Attachment contains "extracted" from the package standalone emulator.
Just unpack attached zip and run sde_xde-enu.msi (if UAC is enabled you should start command promt and execute msiexec /i sde_xde-enu)
In MS terms install is silent so you don't need press "next" or "ok".
After install you find folder "%Program Files%\Microsoft XDE\" with Windows Phone 7 Emulator.
If you install the emulator on win x64 the path to emulator will look like this "%Program Files(x86)%\Microsoft XDE\".
The emulator will be installed both x86 and x64 but it seems that it does not work on x64 systems.
There is no WP7 images in archive so you must download it by yourself (original by M$ or patched version by Dan Ardelean).
Original image of WP7 by M$
Patched image of WP7 by Dan Ardelean mirror
After installing the application and download the file, you can run the emulator using the command:
Code:
"%Program Files%\Microsoft XDE\1.0\XDE.exe" %path_to_downloaded_image%
Despite the fact that it is installed on the XP, it only works on Vista and newer

So will you need Visual Studio Express Edition and all that jazz to make this work? Or just this installation and the emulator image?
Btw great work
main target was just to use the emulator without installing VS2010
just install this package and add the wp7_image
Works like a charm!! Thanks!
Image file
Thank you for the emulator
How can i get an image, do you have a URL or shared storage?
I've updated the first post with wp7image's URLs
anyone else get this to work?
Thanks for this
tried, but does not work at all:
1) installed from msi
2) run FAR as administrator
3) copied original WM70C1.bin to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\1.0\"
4) in directory "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\1.0\" typed:
Code:
XDE.exe WM70C1.bin
and nothing appeared, and no process xde.exe running in task manager
if i type XDE.exe without parameters, it shows its help screen, but if i run with any parameter (even if it is wrong) it shows nothing.
is this problem related only to my machine or somebody else is experiencing this also?

hmm.. I've tried many times on different PCs (win vista sp1 and newer but only x86) and I've had no problems..
there is just one problem that I found it will not work on winXP
pm me if you have any IM. it's much easier to me to talk in Russian
hmm again..
i've just test the emulator in the virtual machine with installed w7 x64 - all the symptoms as l2tp described
I'll try to find x64 version tonight
Thanks Sir
I installed this and it does not create the Microsoft XDE folder in program files....I am on Windows 7 x86. No error of anything. It did take a while and gave me a UAC prompt after a while.....
Edit: I enabled logging by running the msi with /log logfile.txt and it said:
vmmmsm_custom: Running custom action CA_InstallVMMDriver
vmmmsm_custom: Error creating VMM service, E = 6
CustomAction CA_InstallVMMDriver.3D2F911E_A60A_4C07_8F7D_5306DC073E9A returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Action ended 17:11:12: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.
vmmmsm_custom: Running custom action CA_RemoveVMMDriver
vmmmsm_custom: There was an error stopping the VMM service. Run setup again after manually stopping the VMM service. (error code 6)
vmmmsm_custom: There was an error deleting the VMM service. The service has not been deleted. (error code 6)
I guess it is a problem with my machine with the virtual machine driver, but there seems to be no service...
today I'd installed CLEAN win vista sp2 business x86 on the virtual machine and then tested this emulator - all works fine but very slow
one more update - this installer conflicts with UAC (m$ suxxs one more time..)
if you install the full version of the VS2010 UAC's request appears at the beginning and everything is installed properly
but if you only install the emulator, then:
If UAC enabled installer says "all fine" but emulator doesn't install (see post hsclate)
If UAC disabled installer says "all fine" and emulator installs
Thanks working now....you don;t have to disable UAC if you don't want to, just run an elevated command prompt and run from there, then it installed. Thanks for the pointer...

Please work hard for the 64bit version, thanks really for this genius work.
Saw this emu-rip to late damn... After uninstalling all the "Microsoft Virtual Studio + I don't know how many crap from what Virtual Studio refused to uninstall via 'Programs and Features' so removed it kind of manually" the sde_xde-enu does not work anymore. While all that bullcrap was installed it actually did work...(@W7 x64)
damn rapid share thought it was extinct.
l2tp +1 confirmed
Yesterday I tried to install VS2010 on win7 pro x64 and it seems that there is no x64 version of vs2010. Because the download is the same version as downloaded on win vista hp sp2.
Hi!
I'm a beginner, and I searched in the forum, but I haven't found the answer to my question in the forum.
I work with a Windows Mobile 6.5 OS. I try to launch an application at the startup by configuring the register
HKLM\Init
LaunchXX = myProg
DependXX = myDepencies
My program just creates a file, so I can check if it was successfull or not.
It works when I set "Launch100". But when I try to launch it before home.exe for instance, it doesn't work!
I use SignalStarted function. I've tried also the IsAPIReady function, but it's still not working. I tried this on an emulator (of visual studio 2008), I can repeat this problem.
However, when I sign my program with signtool, it works on the emulator. But of course, I can't sign my app for a real phone. Does that mean that the application must be signed when they are launched (via LaunchXX) before some others?
Anyone has an idea? Thank you for your help!
Right, your app must be signed in order to be run from HKLM\Init. You may create your own certificate with makecert tool and then install it with your app.
For some reason, I can't get Zune to install on my PC. I always get errors.
So is there any way to sideload apps without it? I already have WP7 Developer Tools.
Try running this:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Tools\WPConnect\WPConnect.exe
Good luck
WPConnect allows you to keep the connection open without Zune running, but it still relies on Zune being present.
@Zorai: What error are you getting, and have you searched online for help? Also, what OS are you using?

I've tried countless Zune installation troubleshooters around the internet. Errors that I have gotten include:
-"The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0150004). Click on OK to terminate the application."
and in another case,
-Error 1920. Service 'Zune Bus Enumerator' (ZuneBusEnum) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services.
I already have SP3. I just can't install Zune!

Hello there . I'm a bit in doubt as to what approach I should take when creating an application which should accomplish the following: use the USB connection between the device and the Windows-PC to display on the device's screen some information sent by an application residing on the PC. The phone should always operate in airplane mode but Android Debug Bridge works fine on it.
What I'd like to do is to write a Java Application (running on Windows) which reads from a text file and puts that information on the Android device's screen, but I don't know if there are any libraries I can use in a JDK application to achieve this.
Also, I'm not even sure if using ADB is the best option. Perhaps I could initiate communication via USB in a different way?
Please share with me your architectural advice. I would REALLY appreciate some examples or open source projects which achieve similar things. I'm a senior developer but I have very little experience with Java or Android (my background is C#/C++/ECMAScript).
I've been looking into modding my Lumia 640 WP10, and it seems like most if not all of the apps involved require deploying with Windows Phone Power Tools. When I try to use it, it tells me the phone needs an update, and launches the Phone Tools Update Pack which always results in this message: "The update operation did not succeed. You can press Rescan to try reconnecting to the device. The exception code and error message is: 0x80004003 - Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
I have not been able to find any information about this particular error, and any assistance would be very helpful. I have already set the phone to developer mode and been able to deploy the root tool, but have been unable to do anything else without the power tools.
Same problem
I think the newest update is buggy. I was trying to do the same and keeps getting the same error. This might help you.
I'm not sure why the forum only emailed me for the first reply so I'm a bit late seeing yours, DaRealAce. I am not actually using an Insider build right now but thank you, that link did help. It's definitely not the same problem, but I was able to fix mine by using the Interop Tools app linked in that thread. Since that is an appx I was able to sideload it, making vcREG unnecessary. After going through the unlock settings in that app, I was able to deploy the AdBlocker app (my original goal) using the regular WP 8.1 Deployment Tool rather than WP Power Tools, which did not work previously.
Oddly though, somewhere in the process the phone no longer shows up on the PC as a mass storage device.
