Does anyone know if it is possible to load a windows phone 7 XAP file into the emulator without the solution or source files? In other words, can I send somebody just a XAP file so that they can test my app, without giving them the full source code?
xap files which you want to install in your Windows 8 phone to your SD card. STEP 2: Now go to Start -> Store -> SD card and wait for few minutes for all the . xap files to be loaded. STEP 3: Select the app which you want to install -> Select Install option.
If you cannot open your XAP file correctly, try to right-click or long-press the file. Then click "Open with" and choose an application. You can also display a XAP file directly in the browser: Just drag the file onto this browser window and drop it.
Run this:
D:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Tools\XAP Deployment\XapDeploy.exe
Here's the best and easiest way. Go to the start button and navigate to the "Windows Phone Developer Tools" folder. Inside you'll see a program called "Application Deployment" that you can open and use to install the xap file. It will ask you for the location of the .xap and will give the option of deploying to the emulator or to an unlocked device.
