i need some way to run windows phone 7 apps on a windows 7 pc.
more specifically, i need to somehow get hold of a few marketplace apps and then run them on pc.
i have no access to a real wp7, and i currently dont know anyone with a wp7 so appareciate it if one of you would help out and tell me how i would go about doing this
You can download the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Beta 2 and then deploy directly to the emulator using the "Application Deployment" tool included.
As for Marketplace apps, I don't really condone piracy so you'll have to get an answer from someone else.
not talking about piracy lol. just need to know if the sdk emulator or any emulator can run pre compiled marketplace xpa's before i go and waste time downloading the sdk
Mini SDK for WP is now available for download also from :
http://wappstore.org/win/?cid=&showapp=35
... and for registered tester (available for all and easy registration with a few click) is available newer version of wAppStore client for Windows Phone.
Added multilanguage support, available languages are Czech, German, France, Italy, Polish, Russian, Slovak and Chinese
Download from :
http://wappstore.org/wp/?cid=&showapp=1
This smaller SDK is designated for users who do not want complete SDK for WP7 (1.4 Gb on disk) but only part needed for installation of XAP (Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity.dll)
Size of this installation is 4.21 Mb of course there is not supported emulator and others posibilities of full SDK.
You can use it for :
wAppStore

I downloaded ISO of SDK , unpacked WPSDK_en.msi and by method "attemp / mistake" and of cource a little intuition I created this smaller pack.
I will be delighted when join other brave and help me completely clean and test that ;-)
... or create a nice installer or modul for applications using Microsoft.SmartDevice.Connectivity.dll for PC communication with WP7.

- Added WPConnect.exe to WPSDK

(WPSDK.zip with WPConnect.exe for wAppStore 1.0.9., miniWPSDK.zip, - older release)
Wowww! thxx!!
Works great on my Windows 8 partition. Thank you.
You should post this in the Windows Phone 7 main area instead of device specific thread.
Hello W.I.N.C.O., could you please update your Mini SDK to the current version (7.1 final)?
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=27570
Thanks
unable to install in XP, is it compatible with XP?
Thank you, W.I.N.C.O. work fine....wiht 4,5 mb
cu go2mp
It would be great to have also the official developer unlocker and the official deployer in this pack. That should not take up much disk space.
Thanks!
help
I quite dont understand how yo use it?? Do i install it on the PC if so how does the apps install to phone. Do i need to install it on my phone if so how do i flash it on. thanks
awesome , giving it a mention on 1800PocketPC
i cannot get this to install. i run the setup file and it says preparing, then closes and nothing happens. i have windows 7 x64
great,
thank you for sharing
Can't install on XP pro sp3. get error 2337 and note there might be a problem with the package.
Great work! Thank you!
Could anyone kindly explain how to install the mini SDK?
I understand that I should run WPSDK_en.msi, and then copy the other folders to their corresponding places. However I'm not sure where should I copy the following folders:
Application Data
AppSrch
CommonAppData
Thanks in advance!
Unzip miniSDK and run WPSDK_en.msi, that all... .msi copy file from unzipped folder to needed places, after that you can delete unzipped files.

I was able to get the full SDK 7.1 to run under XP and am ChevronWP7 and interop unlocked. I had to change a couple lines in a file "baseline.dat" and it installed. Maybe it can be done with this as well or ask the developer to do it. If you google "how to install the windows phone developers tools in Windows XP" you will find the directions.

HAve downloaded WPSDK and when trying to install on windows 7 it shows dialogue box indicating it is gathering information and then stops going any further. What might I be doing wrong with the installation?

Any tips to get this to work in Windows 7?
Like most others it stops after the initial screen.
Hi,
I found these apps in several places.
I havn't seen a thread to bring them all together in one place, so here they are.
All of them are working on HD2.
Feel free to push Thanks.
I did not fix them myself, only posting them for all other HD2 users happyness!

Drive is zipped due to xap size attachement limits. Just unzip it, xap inside.

Dear jpneves1978,
an xap file is an xap file before and after download. If you do not have any spec program assosiated to xap file type like "Tom XAP Installer" than Windows by default will recognise it as some kind of compressed file pack, what it realy is.
If you have winzip or some other zip program installed it might assosiate the program's icon and link it to every kind of compressed file pack.
My suggesstin for you to try download and install the programs directly onto your phone, if you are usiong a kind of ROM what has xap install feature in IE9.

i had the same problem even though i have xap installer on my PC etc...
When you download the above files they are saved as zip and not xap.
What i did is upload them onto an ftp server and from their changed the file extension from zip to xap then downloaded them onto my computer.
quite a pain but that worked for me.

OEM Apps
You can access Nokia and all OEM Marketplaces by following this thread:

it is very easy, just install xap attached to thread, restart and after, you see 'nokia collection' or 'Samsung Zone' etc.. in your Marketplace

Thanks A Lot Dude For Bringing All Together.
It really is scary when I read posts on topics as basic as file types and file type association and what to do with xap files or zipped files and messing around with tweaking phones.
If XAP's are not associated with an installer like Tom's XAP Installer then right click the xap file, select Open With..., go to Choose Default Program, select Tom's XAP installer or whichever installer you use, and confirm the Always Use box is checked...click OK.
Thanks for the XAP post magdan83!
Strange Error
If you could help me. I've got At&t World Phone Samgung Focus with Windows 7.5
I was successfully able to deploy the Nokia Drive 2.0, Nokia Transit Beta without any problem and the apps works like a charm. However, when I try to deploy the latest Nokia Transit or Nokia creative studio it gives the error code 0x81030120. Can anyone help me with this.
Ive loved these Nokia apps but Im very keen to get;
Nokia Contacts Transfer
Nokia Network Usage
I have downloaded but they wont deploy...is anyone able to resolve/patch these or direct me how to?
Thanks
Is there a way to use Nokia Navigation without internet connection?
SOLVED:
Looks like since the latest update to v2.0 you can use it fully offline.
That's correct Rosetti but you may need to go online to search a destination and can then navigate offline. Better than HTC Locations isn't it? And FREE!

Awesome post.. Thank you
Thanks works great on HTC surround
All the apps install great on HTC surround windows 7.8 , but Nokia transit force closes everytime, thanks for maps , drive and creative studio though amazing job my kudos to you

install direct new version from Store (dont use old XAP files)... just change store to Nokia and install Nokia apps... if app close during start, change phone name from HTC to Nokia Lumia in registry. dont forget uninstall old version first from phone
- go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ System \ Platform \ DeviceTargetingInfo
MODeviceName: HTC Surround change to Lumia 800
- OemName: HTC change to NOKIA
latest version:
Nokia Maps v2.5.0.0: http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=c0109837-574e-469b-a08b-dca621bde3ca
Nokia Drive v3.1.0.3206: http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=b5382dbf-0923-4195-b68b-f93b7ee76fe9
Nokia Transit v3.3.411.0: http://windowsphone.com/s?appId=5e41c972-de66-47f0-95bf-06eb115b3e48
unfortunately Creative Studio in Store now is only for WP8
Locations is now available for HTC WP7 devices for offline navigation. You can use Wi-Fi to download maps for many (most) regions around the world. You must connect to a charger to download.
The description is "Find your way with directions or voice guidance. You can download maps to your phone for offline use, or search and browse online maps when you're connected."
Current version is Locations_v2.1.0.0.xap
Rename files to:
Locations_v2.1.0.0.7z.001
Locations_v2.1.0.0.7z.002
ie take .7z from end of filename
.002 is giving me a 404 File not found...can you re-up?
fixed. please try again
Also could try this:

if you have HTC device, or dont know how to handle with attachments, no need to download this, simple go to marketplace, HTC Apps and download from there
or for other devices, use wAppStore for PC or WP7
PC
http://wappstore.org/store/win/3/237/wAppStoreSetup.msi
WP7 XAP
http://wappstore.org/store/wp/1/20/wAppStore.xap

After renaming how do I copy to HD2? It's not a .xap file.
Extract with WinRAR or similar on PC then deploy. Id suggest you take dxdy's suggestions above instead though.

Yes, extra with a compression program WinRar, Winzip, 7-zip
Then deploy using a .xap deployer such as XAPDeploy
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016766
Connect USB, fire up Zune, then deployer and load xap
Having a free GPS app like the one in Lumia phones, was my only reason to have an unlocked ROM. Now i think i'll keep my actual ROM (XBmod-Yuki). Congrats to HTC for having this app available to all.
As dxdy said if you have HTC device the easiest way is to go to market.

Depends I what you want.
I prefer to have an .xap that I can load if/when I change to a different rom. I don't always want all .xap apps installed right away.
Downloading a file this each time from the marketplace would take considerable time.
That's why I went to the effort of making it available
is many tools to download xap from marketplace to PC....
i also suggest one...
It works, just need to decompress to get the .xap.

Yes, then just download the maps that you want.
I have an LG Optimus 7. Is there any way that I can install this app? I tried installing aAppStore from the link mentioned earlier in my Windows 7 laptop but I keep getting an error message before the app starts and it closes instantly... I also tried visiting the wAppStore.xap using the web browser of my mobile phone but I got a message that this type of file is not supported by my phone.
Any detailed help would be more than welcome!

Sorry, cant help. That's why I put this in the HD2 forum. It's a HD2 release, so I guess it will need some work to get it to work on an LG

why not install xap file with XAPDeployX? XAP install via IE is only for HTC devices with DFT custom ROM....
did your phone unlocked (Chevron or interop)? did you have .net Framework 4 and WP SDK installed on PC?
did your Zune running and synced with phone when try run wAppStore on PC?
P.S.
my advice: use Nokia Drive 2.0 if you can use this app.... is much better than Locations....

Thank you for the detailed reply. I just got the phone a week ago, so I am not familiar with all these apps and ways to install xap files. The phone is not unlocked.
I guess I will have to do a research on the apps that you mention, hoping that they would work (for example Nokia maps is bot available for my Optimus 7 through the marketplace).
Thanks again and apologies for the off-topic!

Long story short...I have a legit Windows Phone Developer account and I want to unlock my Lumia 920. I know the unlock tool is part of the WP8 SDK, but the only problem is that the SDK requires Windows 8 64-bit. As of now, the only Windows 8 install I have is on my Samsung tablet, so I can't install it on there since its not 64-bit.
Is there a way to just get the registration tool without installing the 1.5+GB SDK? Or is there a way to do it from Windows 7?

RE: register phone
Why don't you use a vmware image of windows 8 where you can install the sdk on it. I use the same method as I have a macbook. for win phone 8 dev I use vmware.

I think the zip doesn't work but not because it needs a zune connected phone. Instead the issue is that the tool is probably missing some common files or something like that. It asks to connect the phone to the computer and points at a potential problem with the windows phone passthrough service (although there is no problem because the device can be browsed perfectly fine).
I wish I could at least install a XAP to my WP8 devce on Windows 7...Is THAT even possable ?

Sorry for bumping this old post, but I had been having issues registering/unlocking my Windows Phone 7 Lumia 710 recently to develop.
Using Windows 7 SDKs, the registration tool with it just wasn't working - I was getting the good old "Error logging into the App Hub. Please check your Windows Live ID and password and try again" message.
Even contacting Windows Dev Support couldn't resolve this - apparently its a known issue theyre working on just now!
Long story short, I found this thread - and tried the zip file you linked and it worked! I was able to register my phone through that file instead of the registration tool that came with the SDK. So thank you very much!
Worked for me too. Thanks a bunch !!
