i have just been given a rt 8.1 for work but unknowingly my boss didn't realise Microsoft access database cant be used. I also cant use the rt wirelessly and run it off a desktop.
is there any alternative apps that can open the access format. I have installed the jailbreak 1.2 if that helps.
I need it for tomorrow so any help be amazing.

Hi,
I started experimenting with this idea. I have WP8 files extracted from a firmware file. I copied these files to my surface RT. I was able to run some WP8 applications out of the box. however, applications that require UIXmobile.dll (WP GUI) failed to run. Now both WP8 and W8 share the NT core. so some libraries would just work. now the main WP8 library UIXmobile.dll doesn't work out of the box. as it uses a different function to create the gui for its applications.
I was thinking of something similar to what has been done by "mamaich", to implement a library that will replace the WP8 call wtith the standard W8 call (for example: use createProcess instead of createApplication) and pass the common calls to the already implemented APIs.
sadly , It's a very difficult task for me to do. I'll be spending time on it but i can't promise of any fast results.
I'd like to thank the authors of these threads for their wonderful work:

Which apps worked without tinkering?
Oh, very cool idea. It would probably only work for actual WP8 apps at first (not WP7.x apps, as those would require either a Silverlight or XNA runtime), but the idea has merit for sure. It was speculated for a long time that running WP8 apps on Win8/Windows RT would be possible, as both are written against the WinRT API, but that never happened. If we can make it happen ourselves, though... that would be awesome.
Of course, ideally we'd want to be able to access the store, since there aren't a lot of WP8 app packages floating around where we could use them. That's probably a very tricky problem in and of itself, although you could try extracting the store EXE and seeing what is required to make it work...
I think windows phone(os) is just a min gui shell for windows rt.so its possible to run the shell in windows rt.and maybe a windows phone can run windows rt.

Not exactly. It's the same shell (well, the next rev) that was running on top of wince for WP7.
Is it an alternate shell (like Explorer), or a totally separate graphics subsystem?

there is a program called telwp.exe that was able to reach a certain point. I attached a screen shot of 3 different apps. 2 apps showed something before crashing (telwp, nokia_security). and the third app crashed with an error message. other wp apps usually crash silently leaving an error message about a faulty CoreUi.dll in the evenlog .
Plzzz. Guide me to the process of installing win8 xap files of games and app to my surface pro.
Thanks
Heres a guide:
You can't.
XAP files are windows phone 7 and windows phone 8 apps. The surface pro is not a windows phone. It cannot run windows phone apps.
But there is all features like microsoft store and all the games and app.
I think the format would be xap only weather it be win phone or win pc tab. Please do further research
thanks for your help.
Why should I do the research? Why cant you?
Windows phone 8 and windows 8 ARE NOT THE SAME THING. Windows 8 apps do not work on windows phone 8 and vice versa.
Windows 8 apps use the WinRT runtime, windows phone 8 apps use a different runtime entirely and CANNOT run on windows 8 without emulation. You want to emulate windows phone 8? Install visual studio 2012 and the windows phone SDK and start compiling your apps from the basic source code, which requires that the source code be available because the emulator cant sideload .XAP's either, and its slower.
Windows 8 apps are in .APPX format.
Windows phone 8 apps are in .XAP format.
Do your own research next time. .XAP cannot be installed on Windows 8. Its like saying an iOS app runs on OSX or vice versa.
thanks boss... sorry if that research line hearts you but this time things are all clear thanks again for detail description.
I used to have Windows 8 on my Surface RT, and used the compatibility list for flash sites to work. Now that I upgraded to 8.1 I can't seem to load some of the sites that use flash.
Example: epikchat.com worked on Windows 8 surface RT with the flash compatibility. But Windows 8.1 gets some weird error saying it couldn't load the xml file.
If anyone can have any explanation where I can start figuring out how to fix this problem it would be most appreciated.
It works flawless on Windows 8.1 IE desktop but RT it doesn't load anymore.
Thanks
I mean when I am completely offline (like android phones). Or at least using reverse tethering. Is reverse tethering possible to lumia 1020?
P.s. My question is specific. I know about wifi or bluetooth, which I don't trust. Using my pc I feel more safe.
Thanks
:cyclops:
You can deploy XAP files using a PC using USB cable. On Win 10 Mobile, you can install APPX using file explorer just like APK on Android or you can also use Device Portal (similar to reverse tethering).
Thank you

I did loads of research and I never stumbled upon Device Portal. Obviously you are ... (somebody) and thank you...
Unfortunately my phone runs Windows 8.1 and my laptop Windows XP. Is there something out there for me, to marry my two devices offline? I also want to downgrade to Windows 8 but probably there is not a user friedly and safe way (fa fu bee ga ).

You're very welcome.
You can deploy apps from XAP files on WP8.1 but unfortunately not for XP. I understand that the deployment tools is from Visual Studio 2015 which requires Win 7 or higher. I've seen some sites extracts the deployment tool as a standalone app so you don't have to install visual studio. You can attempt to deploy XAP file this way. But I have no idea if it will work.
I think the title says it.
When do you think we will dual boot android and Windows?
Can this be hacked whe the HP Envy 2 will be available?
Why would you want windows on an Xperia? The simple truth is no one has done it cause so much work would have to be put into it. Also windows 10, has a terrible market for apps. Better off just downloading the Microsoft apps if that's what u want
Probably because the latest windows 10 arm version can run standard Windows .exe 32bit applications.
I am searching for a Windows 10 port too, but i can't find one. I will try and make some experiments with my Sony.
