[Q] Help! Reformatted computer and can't deploy xap anymore - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I've just reformatted my computer and installed the following setups related to Windows Phone
1)Windows 7.1 SDK
2)Windows Developer Tools CTP
3)Zune
4)XAPdeployX v0.9
5)Microsoft Visual Studio
For some reason no matter what deployer i use it gives me an error
1)XAPdeployX doesn't even let me open it up. It gives an error "Error: Unable to start. (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.) YES i have installed CoreConInstall and vs_sdeprolightup-enu
2)Phone 7 Deployer didn't work as well giving me an error "Error Deploying to the device. It is not properly configured."
It's as if my phone is not unlocked which i am 100% sure because i could deploy XAP before i reformatted my computer
Thanks in advance for the help

Not sure why you'd deploy the dev tool CTP, or at least why you'd say it's related to WP7. It's probably not your problem, but...
Out of curiosity, what version of Windows are you running?

Win 7 64bit and its updated.
Why isn't CTP related? I thought you needed Windows Developer Tools for deployment of XAP

Nope. WP7 SDK and Zune is all you need for XAP deployment.
A full copy of Visual Studio can ease development but isn't needed. A third-party xap deployer isn't needed at all, though the official one is kind of feature-bare. The Windows dev tools (as opposed to the Windows Phone dev tools) aren't even relevant. Certainly not the CTP ones (I assume you mean the ones for the Win8 tech preview?) as those weren't even available until a few months ago. Visual Studio installs the standard Windows SDK anyhow.
I assume you're able to connect the phone to Zune and sync files, etc?

[Q] Accessing IsolatedStorage from PC

Guys,
I used Windows Phone Power Tools to access my isolatedSotorage folders on my LG Optimus 7, but since I don't want to install the full WP SDK, it doesn't work anymore. Any suggestion? Maybe some other software.
BTW the error WPPT gives me it some missing VisualStudio Assemblies.
Also, I don't like TouchExplorer really much, since it installs Windows Device Manager which I never was able to unistall.
To deploy I just use W.I.N.K.O.S.'s mini SDK

[Q] Can't deploy XAPs anymore

I have a Samsung Focus (rev 1.3) which is interop-unlocked using Jaxbot's WindowBreak.
Everyt
My desktop (Windows 7 x64) was able to:
1. Connect and sync via Zune
2. Deploy XAPs
3. Create backups using the Easy_Backup tool
4. Connect to Cab_sender
While it is still able to do 1, 3, & 4, it just cannot deploy XAPs anymore. It's not a problem with the phone as I can still deploy xaps from my laptop.
Every XAP deployer I use returns the following error:
"Failed to connect to device. The specific module cannot be found"
I've tried re-installing Zune, my .NET is upated. I even tried installing the full WP7.1 SDK but it didn't help.
Googling the error hasn't turned up much.
What could be the problem here?
I had the same problem, but I didnt want to reinstall the whole wp7 sdk. Uninstall the wp7 sdk(only if you dont need it) and then try W.I.N.C.O´s wp7 mini sdk. That one worked well for me

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. I had this installed prior to the start of the problem. I installed the full SDK only later.
I tried this again, but the installer just disappears moments after it executes.

How to deploy xap without WP SDK installed?

Simple question, I am using Terminal PC where I can't install Windows Phone SDK. I got Dev unlocked WP and I would like to be able to deploy my XAP files (no warez) from this machine without installing SDK. Any idea?
If you aren't FullUnlock impossible
How about full unlocked?
If you're fullunlocked, you can use on-device XAP installers (there are various available) which also typically enable IE XAP handling. You can also couple this with for instance the WMDC connector and copy XAPs using USB on the phone and installing using such an installer.
On-device XAP deployment only requires a root unlock, except you must first deploy the XAP deployment app (see my signature, for example) and probably WP7 Root Tools. Those will require standard app deployment software on the PC (it doesn't require all of the WP7 SDK, but it does require part of it and also Zune). Once they're installed, mark the XAP halder app as Trusted, run it once so it associates with the .XAP file extension, and then you can install apps from web pages or email attachments.

[Q] Windows Phone 7 on Windows 8

Hi,
I've recently upgraded my laptop to Windows 8. On Windows 7 I had Zune, Dev Tools, Xap Deployer, etc to connect to my phone (Omnia 7.5 dev/interop unlocked). How can I do the same on Windows 8. Couldn't find Zune for Windows 8.
Tried searching the forums but searching for "windows 8" just gives results for Windows 7.8.
Any help is much appreciated.

Just go to the xbox music site and download zune again. And go to the apphub site and download the windows phone tools again.
Everything you had on windows 7 will run on windows 8. I just slapped Win 8 on my laptop and just finished installing the dev kit and zune. Took me about an hour to do.

I read somewhere that Zune Software is not compatible with W8. I tried it also on W8 CP without any luck. I guess I should try on the released version now. Downloading...
Btw, what version of dev tools did you use? Can you post a link?

Naw, the Zune software is fully compatible with W8. I just finished importing my music library from my phone to my laptop.
Anyway, I downloaded this ...
https://www.dreamspark.com/Student/Windows-Phone-7-App-Development.aspx
Not really sure what version it is. 7.1 or 7.2 or something?
Zune works perfectly on Windows 8.
For the developer tools I think you should use these:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35471#overview
"The Windows Phone Software Development Kit (SDK) 8.0 provides you with the tools that you need to develop apps and games for Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.5."
Thanks guys. Zune worked. Installing latest dev tools from jjuki's link.

Error 0x89731812

Hello, I tried deploy a XAP in multiple ways, but I constantly get 0x89731812 error.
I use a Windows 8 PC (I think here lies the real problem, there are no tools for Windows 8)
I tried developer XAP Deployer
I tried TomXAP Deployer
I tried Windows Phone Device Manager (Never worked anyway)
Zune is running
If i sent the XAP via email to myself i can install it, but i want to install it from the PC!
same problem here
