Deploy to Emulator?
|
|
| Rick Strahl [MVP] 2005-05-27, 4:03 am |
| Hi all,
I'm trying to test deployment of a couple of application on the emulator.
I've build the Cab files, fixed up the mess that VS.NET generates etc and I
think I have a good deploy setup.
The files deploy fine to my live phone, but I can't get deployment to work
on the Emulator. The files download. At the end of the download I get a
failed to install Cab file message.
I buitl both Arm4 and x86 cabs. I assume x86 is what I want here and just to
be sure made sure all dependencies are in the same path (should all be there
since I've been debugging this code before).
I tried this with two separate projects and both behave exactly the same.
Any ideas why these fail?
Is there any way to 'manually' install files on the emulator? I can get the
files installed by debugging on the Emulator, but there are no shortcuts and
no file manager so there's no way to launch the file. Is there some way to
manually create a shortcut so the thing shows up in the Start Menu?
TIA,
+++ Rick ---

x86 is correct for evc and vs2003, the VS 2005 beta 2 ships with the ARM
emulators.

One 'trick' is to deploy to \Storage\Windows\Start Menu\Accessories, and
run it from the start menu.

That did the trick! Thanks...

Well, it doesn't work on the Vs2003 emulator, but the Arm version installs
on my actual device.
The Vs2005 Beta 2 emulator is still x86 isn't it? Only the WM5.0 one is Arm
I thought...
