[Q] sdk tools for xp

is there a way to install the sdk phone tools on xp? I have the 6.1v and visual studios 2010. But when i try to install it says i have to have win7 or vista, and i cant put win7 on machine cause it only has 128m ram. I have a patch file that is suppose to let ya install but haven figured out how to yet.

There are ways to get it installed but the emulator requires Directx 10 so that's not going to work. Without the emulator all you can do is write and compile code but not test to see if it works or not. Not very useful.
XP barely runs on 128mb of RAM so I imagine Visual Studio would be absolutely miserable to use if usable at all.

If you wanna develop for WP7 I guess its safe to say it time for an upgrade.

i would say so as well. even a netbook has more capabilities than that

Im not much of a developer in some ways so as for now all im wanting to do is use the toms installer or the reg sdk deployment tool witch i have but when i try to launch program i get this error:
Could not load file 'Microsoft Smart Device.Connectivity,10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its
dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Then when i try to install the Microsoft XNA Game Studio 4.0 windows phone from the WPDT_RTM_en_iso
i get this error: Microsoft xna game studio4.0 phone ex require visual 2010 or WPDT. install the required app and then relaunch setup. " witch i have the visual studio 2010 installed"
and i have a win7 netbook but have managed to have a kid that spilled tea on it so am trying to figure out the way to do this untill
i can afford to get another netbook.
Thanks for the help and replies guys, very appriciated!!

Ok so I got the xna game studio 4 to install but still getting the phone device connectivity error, is there something I can download to get by this and use the deployment

guess no solution huh

i don't believe so. the way i did it was to use a virtual machine so i could get the phone emulator working on an xp machine (virtual machine has windows 7 on it). but you don't have enough ram for that. you need at least 1.5gb dedicated to the virtual machine alone.

You can try this solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9618980&postcount=81. I just couldn't get it to install still as I kept getting an error saying could not install the following component .NET Framework 4 Multi-Targeting Pack.

i finally found a iso file and downloaded it then opened up the baseline.dat file and edited it according to the patch settings and everything works just like it does on win7 netbook, just wanted to see if it was possible and it is!
Thanks for the replies.

Could you share that info? Ive been dying to get SDK tools on my XP... Thanks

Can you please share that? I have 4 XP computers at home and neither of them can run it. It would be great as I need the SDK to run Chevron unlocker! Thanks!

Link pleaseee
I so desperately need this also

for those that want the tools on windows xp, here you go: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/astebner/archive/2010/05/02/10005980.aspx

I finally got it to install on XP!
Here's what I did,
Download the .iso file (it's at the bottom of the page) :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=04704acf-a63a-4f97-952c-8b51b34b00ce
After, make a new folder on your desktop and extract the ".iso" file into the folder.
Next, I grabbed the ".zip" file from here, : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9618980&postcount=81
Take the baseline.dat from the .zip file and replace it in the one with the extracted .iso files. Then just run setup.exe from the file. It should work! But make sure you have about 3 gb free from your hard drive. And emulator doesn't work, but I'm sure its fine if your not a developer.
Remember to hit the thanks button if it worked for you!

[Q] Xap deployer for Mac?

Hi. It possible make any xap deployer for mac?

How do you install the WP7 SDK on Mac ?
I recommend use Parallel Desktop or Bootcamp with Windows 7 that's more easier for your phone.

yeah i been using vmware fusion to load all mods lol to phone....works good

There is a windows phone connector in the mac app store. I'm a mac developer but i need someone who know's how a XAP installer works, what data does it send to the phone, etc? Please contact me

I haven't seen anything, just **** you cant install IOS dev tools on Windows, I doubt you'll be able to get the deployer working on Mac.

It isn't exactly clear in that guide (have to read the comments) but the Windows 8.1 Pro ISO's floating around are all Surface ready. The few drivers that aren't included will install through Windows Update after installation is done. Just be sure to capture your 8 Pro Product Key per the guide mentioned before you wipe your drive!
You can use the tool found at the following url to very easily convert the Windows 8.1 Pro ISO to a UEFI bootable image.

Can you?
Last time I checked the only recoveries you could get were for the Surface RT, if they are now hosting recoveries for the Pro's as well I can free up some space on my FTP server at last...

great! thanks.
it isn't really working well so far on surface 3, guess that is screen resolution related. the green box appears too far up in the screen, and box is too narrow to write in.
any idea how to change the config settings xml files to correspond to the surface screen resolution ?

Works Great on Surface Pro 2
Has anyone considered privacy concerns regarding password input?

Making the latest beta work on Surface or other tablets
I followed the following steps.
1. First you need to get the beta file from lenovo's site
2. Then, extract the msi file from the setup file.
To extract the msi file I opened command prompt, navigated to the folder where the setup exe is stored and ran this:
Code:
WRITEit-Setup.exe /A
This will prompt you to select a folder where all the contents will be extracted. You will find the msi file in that folder.
3. Then follow the instructions (use google translate for english) in the article by tabletpccorner to remove the Lenovo check from the msi file. (Steps 1 & 2 in the article are already covered above)
I can't paste the article link as I don't have enough rep, but you can find it by searching for 'comment essayer lenovo writeit' in google and go to the tabletpccorner dot net article
Basically, you need OCRA to be able to edit the MSI file and you delete the check for Lenovo devices and then proceed with the installation.
I used the latest beta and it works really well with Surface Pro 3. No scaling issues as mentioned above.

Dear Gary ans Srikz
I've tried many options but failed so far to extract the msi from the newest beta "writeit-setup.exe" let alone edit it.
the /A thing doesn't work on my windows 8.1.
can you please post an edited newest beta ?
thanks!
- update - i managed, solved

new version 1.043.0 now available!

Anyone got this working on the Surface Pro 3? I cannot believe Microsoft has not seen the value in this approach and added it to Windows 8.1.

Hello !
Someone can share the 1.2.7.0 WRITEit.msi version, because the last (1.3.29.0) doesn't look to be installable on Surface...
Thanks a lot !

Nobody ? ;-(

No Working
I follow the steps for the installation of the last version, and it has gone right.
But after the installation the software doesn't work and launches the message that it works only with lenovo.
Any idea?

Lenovo added an extra layer of device control at loading of the app... maybe someone could look into this...
One more note: the app used MyScript software as OCR, and not Windows native character recognition... I really hope MS creates something similar to this app...

yeah so i got as far as installing it.
but now when I launch the app it *****es about it only running on a lenovo...
Any way to bypass this?

I installed the .msi file in this thread and it works without problems. It only asks to update whenever the app is started, but you can ignore that.
I did try to install the updated version from Lenovo site using the method suggested here, but it does not work, and I get the same warning as you do.So my suggestion is to use the older .msi version that you find in this post.

For me the .msi file in this thread is not working so good.

My name is James and I am the project manager for WRITEit. We will be launching our 2.0 beta at CES 2016 in a week. Before that, I wanted to share with you the code so that you could test it out for yourselves. No hack is required because we will be offering WRITEit on all OEMs going forward. We are radically changing the direction of WRITEit, but we still have the core handwriting -> text conversion that you all know from the 1.x builds. Going forward, we are putting more emphasis on annotating over the entire desktop screen. This can work on touch and pen machines, so you aren't limited to only having a pen equipped machine.
Remember that this is a beta... I welcome any feedback from the community. You can PM me on here or email me directly at [email protected]

WRITEit does not allow the user to input passwords due to this reason.
