Hi i just installed Visual Studio 2008 on my Windows 7 RC.
But I can't install the WM 6 SDK, the installer claims something like 'Please check it is a valid installer-package'.
Any ideas?
Greetings,

Hello, I'm running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. I found out that Zune Software doesn't run on this OS. Since I am sick of repartitioning, formatting and installing OSes, I don't want to make new partition and install new OS. So it looks like the only way to connect my phone to Zune and update to Mango is to use a VMware Workstation Virtual machine with compatible OS (WinXP 32bit for example).
Is it safe to update to Mango using a VMware Virtual machine?
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?
does anyone have a clean copy of the WMDC installer version 6.0 for windows 7 X64
i have spent hours troubleshooting my phones inability to sync with my computer and it all boils down to 6.1 not being compatible
apparently Microsoft has removed the download link to this program and i figured if there was anyone in the world could have a copy of this program it would be one of the people here
Here are two windows that I can find.
