StandAlone Windows Phone 7 Emulator (Microsoft XDE)

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.

WP7 RTM ".bat file immediately closes after run" - solution

Hey, so.. this is problem on x64 systems. I slightly modified path to the wpupdate.exe so its working ok now.

Feel free to post.

I had this problem and all i did was removed the 'Windows Phone Engineering Flashing Tool' and then reinstall it. And it works afterwards.

it just a .bat file.. when it is finished it will close.
That said if it finished right when you started it.. there was an error and it didn't update your phone (most likely you didn't run the update tool)
if you don't want it to go away when it finishes... open it in a a command prompt. (cmd)

Plus 1 That.. Did the same thing and Worked Perfectly afterwards

Neither one of those worked for me. Theres problem with path to wpupdate.exe on 64bit OS.. Cmd in bat is trying to reach it in PF x86 folder, wheres no zune installed.

Mango RTM installed on my samsung omnia 7 with no problems at all on X64 Windows 7 home premium just followed instructions

See this;

If the bat file for the 7720 part keeps closing on you, make sure you aren't running the official Zune 4.8. Make sure you have the beta & that the updateWP.exe is the same build #. If they don't match, it'll give an error that they don't & close. You can see the error by start>run>cmd>ok>manually type if the bat's location. The CMD windows won't auto close.

[Q] Couldn't install every XAP! Why?

UPDATE: Problem solved! Thanks!
Hi together,
I got an LG Optimus 7 (E900), with Version 7392 and unlocked (with the MFG menu and the regedit trick).
I'm using the Tom XAP Installer, I've tried to install Navigon Select, it worked! But that's the only application which I could install.
If I try to install another xap file (loaded with the WP7 Marketplace or theWP7 3rd Marketplace) I'm unable to install the XAP!
I get the error message, that my Phone isn't connected or Zune isn't startet.
But as you can see, it worked with Navigon!
Is there a problem with other XAP files? Is there a kind of DRM protection on them or what do I need to do to install other XAPs!?
Oh, I forgot, I installed the homebrew ringtone tool, this works as well.
Thanks for your help!
Cheers

Did you try to install again Navigon? Did you apply the registry tweak to stay unlocked? If not, yes it will be locked again once you reconnect to Zune.
Try also to disable or end tasks on your PC which would detect UBS devices and those that would interfere with your connection like firewall, etc....

I found the issue! And no, it's not relocking again, I used the regedit with the key that it wouldn't relock again.
The problem was simple, I tried some Xbox Live Games, they didn't work. Now, I'm using the 3MKTPlace V0.6.4 with this tool it works fine for me!
Thanks anyway for helping!

Can you Explain EXACTLY the procedure you have used to install the Devstore8, ive tryed the browser donwload but i obtain a message like this: "you havent installed your business application please refere to your company tecnical service" i've tryed also to donwnload Devstore8.xap via usb to my SD CARD and instally it from store, but the SD Store entry dont come visibile with this app on SD CARD.
So what is the correct method to have a devstore8 installed and working on my phone ?

requirements : Windows 8 , Windows phone 8 SDK, Windows phone 8 developer account.
save the .xap file on the computer and use app deployment tool to install it on your phone.
at least this is the way i did it.

[Q] How to install XAP from appx4fun in windows 10 mobile ?

In windows phone 8, The xap file from the website appx4fun.com were supposed to be installed from store app by keeping the XAP file in the root of the sd card and install it from an option in the store. But there is no such option in the store app of Windows 10 mobile. These XAPs can not get install in a regular way( through Interop Tools or By deployment tool ). As far as I think, these XAPs are encrypted and it is first decrypted by the windows phone 8 store and is then installed. Do anyone have any idea on this..?

I'm a noob with windows mobile too but I always used wp 8.1 sdk

The XAPs that i'm talking about, won't install with that deployment tool.

It is not possible to install encrypted XAPs on Windows Mobile 10.
