I was unsure whether or not this post belonged in the Windows Phone forum, or the Windows 8. However, it just makes sense to me to put it here, so I did.
I downloaded and installed the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Release Candidate (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=27153) because I have a (mango beta, ISV build 7712) Samsung Focus that has been developer-unlocked (InterOp-Unlock), and frequently sideload apps to it. Did it many many time in Windows 7 with no problems whatsoever. When the Developer Preview came out, I installed it on the same machine which I used to sideload apps from. I also installed the regular things, like Zune software (4.8). Now, whenever I open XapDeploy.exe (C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\XAP Deployment) , I get this error message:
Exception from HRESULT: 0x89721800
I have tried to work my Bing magic to no avail. I have tried many of the solutions found on forums online to fix this, but to no avail. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, and repaired the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Release Candidate with no fruition. Does this work in Windows 8 at all? If yes, then how can I fix my problem. If no, are there other XAP deployers that *do* work in Windows 8? Please help!!
Same error... I've to switch to Windows 7 to deploy .xap.
Sent from my Samsung Omnia 7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Try to use XAPDeployX-V0.9
you can find on the internet
That's great work!!
Yeah, that one didn't work either. Funnily enough, I got the same error, just in a different message.
"Error: Unable to start. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x89721800)"
Anyone??? Please??
That was using XAPDeployX by the way. I have tried a couple of other ones, but they didn't work. Does anyone have a clue???
I've tried about 4 different ones. I think its because they all rely on the SDK to be working. So I'm now partitioning my drive and getting XP on here so I don't have to use my old computer. Lol.
MultiXapInstall v1.1 work for me
I tried that too, and when I tried to deploy, it just crashed and quit with no error. Anyone have ANYTHING???
Microsoft has released a tool that check your PC if it is Windows 8 capable or not. It will check your PC requirements along with the apps you have installed on your existing OS and will tell if these apps are compatible with Windows 8 or not.
You can download this tool from here.

I installed windows 8 on my Lenovo thinkpad and chose the overwrite option when installing. For some reason in my computer tab, it still says windows 7 and my hard drive is overloaded with both os's. How can I delete the windows 7 OS and reinstall windows 8? Any help will be appreciated.
Wrong forum section, this is for Windows RT, windows 8 is the next option up the list

When you click on windows 7, what happens?

Thread probably got moved already (thanks, mods).
The only really "correct" way to install a copy of Windows to replace another copy of windows is to format the hard drive in between. First, back up all the files you'll wnat to keep - this process completely removes them. If you have a separate data drive, you can keep it around and/or move files to it. Insert the bootable media (flashdrive, DVD, whatever), reboot in such a way that it boots off the install media, choose an "advanced" install, then delete all the existing partitions (you may need to select "advanced" drive options to see the delete option) on the install disk, select the resulting empty space, and choose to install there. Win8 will set up its own (pretty sane) partition scheme and install itself; on most machines the process takes about 15 minutes. Afterwards, you'll have to go through the usual process of setting up your account, downloading apps, restoring those files you backed up, etc.
It was in windows RT general when I posted.
The notion of a "clean install" may be headed the way of the dodo, as standalone software would have no place under MS' new "devices & services" strategy.
With pervasive connectivity assumed, there's no need for a standalone ISO (which itself is antiquated, as many devices now don't have optical drives). OEM PCs already come with a "bound" version of the OS. White-box/custom-built PCs can install OS from online via a download-manager stub. The installed copy is then activated and bound to the particular device. This would enforce licensing and wipe out piracy in one stroke. With continuous updates, any exploit can be patched by the next update cycle.
OS updates will become a service. MS can use the XBL model and have a free tier for bug/security updates, and a paid tier for feature updates. With the app store being mandatory to buy apps, users' payment data would be on file, facilitating any monetizing effort.
Most of these are already in place. MS only needs to flip the switch and kill the standalone (ISO) software. I'm projecting it may take place as early as Win9 release next year.
Hello...
I just set up a Windows Phone developer account and registered my phone (HTC 8x) as a developer unlocked phone.
I have build an app with PhoneGap build and I can download the .xap, but I have yet to figure out how to install it.
Using a QR Reader asks if I want to search the store for something to open the file.
I've seen tutorials on how to build a PhoneGap app within Visual Studio.
I haven't seen any means of installing it from PhoneGap Build, though.
Any ideas?
JJ
The SDK installs a tool called Application Deployment on your PC. Run that, connect your phone via USB, and use it to sideload the XAP.
Man, it would be great if you could install them directly from the PhoneGap site (like iOS and Android - I haven't tested Blackberry).
Having to do it from a computer that has, at least, a Core i5 CPU and Visual Studio is kind of jacked.
Also, I can only have 3 developer devices on my account.
Apple allows 99, I think.
Of course, Android doesn't even require to to register a device (just turn on the "install unapproved apps" feature.

You do not need SLAT (i5 CPU) to side load things.
That is for emulators only.
There is homebrew to do that on WP7. We'll just have to figure out a way on WP8. It's not very hard, once we can get the needed permissions.

Well, that's handy to know.
It would still be nice to not require Windows 8 and Visual Studio just to install an app.

And don't need to be a W8, you can install xap's on Windows 7.

Has anyone been able to do this on Windows 7 x64 machine ? I am sure I am just missing something...
I downloaded "Windows Phone Power Tools" after installing .NET 4.5 but, it just gives me an error of "Unable to install or run the applications. The application requires that assembly Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity version 11.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Accembly Cashe (GAC) first." when I attempt to run it..
As most of us know, SDK 8.0 REQUIRES Windows 8, I would love to be able to install XAPs on Windows 7 so I don't have to reboot my PC to use my Windows 8 partition just to install a quick XAP time to time. I can't download or find where to download the full install to extract a few fles as said in the directions...
Any idea to get this installed ?
I didn't get it working with my Windows 7 workstation.
I have a Windows 8.1 laptop, so I just use it.
Being able to do it at work would be nice, though.

Try install SDK7.1

Or use VMware and create a virtual machine with the above requirements.
@DavidinCT @Fa310tx
You can install the WP8 SDK on Windows 7...it works just fine. The secret that Microsoft doesn't want you to know is that the WP8 SDK can be installed on Server 2008 R2...Server 2008 R2 is based on Windows 7 x64. Therefore, it will work with no issues.

When the Windows 10 May 2019 Update is ready for your device, it will be available to download from the Windows Update page in Settings. Choose a time that works best for you to download the update. You'll then need to restart your device and complete the installation. After that, your device will be running Winwdos 10, version 1903. (To check whether you're already running the May 2019 Update, select View update history on the Windows Update settings page.) Also note the following:
-If you want to install the update now, select Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update , and then select Check for updates. If updates are available, install them.
-If version 1903 isn't offered automatically through Check for updates, you can get it manually through the Update Assistant.
-If you run into problems updating your device, including problems with previous major updates, see common fixes at Troubleshoot problems updating Windows 10, or use Fix Windows update issues to step you through the troubleshooting process.
-If you're warned by Windows Update that you don't have enough space on your device to install the update, see Free up space.
-If you experience internet connection issues while updating your device, see Fix network connection issues in Windows.
I want to inform you that it is an auto-formation so when its updates are available then you will know it already. But remember that you are connected to the internet.
Windows 10 1909 available?
version 1903? The latest version is Windows 10 1909 already. I still have one laptop remained with Windows 7. I'm in dilemma, upgrade or not. Microsoft doesn't leave us too much to think about this. I win the free windows 10 home operating system (priced at $139) from WinXDVD lest I upgrade from windows 7 to windows 10 someday.

There are four builds with 1909, latest is 18363.628, which some have problems, maybe hold off until newer. As for 7 to 10, if you have ssd do it, so much faster with it over hdd and usally you can find drivers or use a 7 driver. If you don't have a win 7 ISO maybe mirror copy in case you want to revert. Not sure if I'm allowed to say this but you can run win 10 pro or enterprise, there is no hack like with 7 and the slic table but 10 has a flaw with it's KMS key management service.
