Installing .xap on Win XP

Ok so all who have WP7 on their HD2's and having PC with Windows XP have this problem : "wtf man, how do i deploy/install .xap's on my HD2 ?"
Well i have the answer, we all have met the problem with the SDK Developer Tools installation (it was shtting about "ya need vista or 7 bla bla bla")
So after a really hard search (spended 1 minute) i found the answer !
I found this at http://www.redfrogfish.com/483/how-to-install-windows-phone-7-developer-tools-on-windows-xp/
All credits go to that guy!!!!
Ok, so if ur afraid to go to that site i will now copypaste the tut
Download the Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW from Microsoft Download Center
Extract the downloaded package by running vm_web.exe /x
Go to the folder of the extracted package & open the file baseline.dat in any text editor
Look for the ‘gencomp7788’ section and change this two entries from 1 to 0:
InstallOnLHS=0
InstallOnWinXP=0
Save the file baseline.dat
Run setup.exe /web
i extracted the .exe with WinRaR and then opened the baseline.dat with Notepad
Finally, made a shortcut to "setup" file and the "Prpoerties" on shortcut and in the end u add that " /web" thing. Run the shortcut and it should all work and dl the stuff.
Again, i won't visit this post so it's better to find a solution by urself
coul some body explain better this please?
I had problems installing SDK and running Tom XAP installer until now. Basically, I had the WPSDK installed, .NET 4.0, Tom Xap Installer and it worked just fine on my XP Pro.

[Q] .xap file format

Hi, guys
Does anyone knows where I can find a specification about the file format of .xap file, there are some guys saying that the xap file is a zip, but sounds it is not true, according to the xap files I downloaded from Windows App Store, the magic word of the xap at the beginning is "PRE"...
Any comment will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
XAP Files are Zip-Files. Your Problem is that when they are submitted to the Marketplace they are encrypted to avoid piracy. If you rename a regular XAP file created by Visual Studio to .ZIP you can open it and browse it. If you donwload it from the Marketplace you can't do anything with it.

[Q] How to decompile .XAP from Windows Phone Store?

Hi guys, is it possible to decompile an app installed from Windows Phone Store?
I'm using a Huawei W1-U00 rooted, running WP 8.1 and i'm able to access the file system and see the data from a .XAP app that I installed (with WP SDK), but i can't access the data from an app installed from Windows Store.
Thanks.
.xap files is just zip files, but it's encrypted - you need a extractor, it will not work in normal .zip extractor eg. 7-Zip or WinRAR. It contains .exe and .dll files. Extract it, and you can use ILSpy or similiar tool for .NET applications or disassembler for C/C++ applications to decompile .dll and .exe files.
