Problem with the migration to WP 7 RTM from WP 7 Beta

Asked By 10 points N/A Posted on -

Hello,

Last night Just I migrated to WP 7 RTM from WP 7 Beta.

Everything was working very fine and easily I could create latest WP 7 RTM applications in VS 2010 Ultimate. Then I started making quick tests with the latest templates and easily I managed to arrange those on the Emulator.

By the way the Emulator RTM seems to be much quicker and also performing well than the Beta version. In this morning I decided to setup new Silverlight 4 Toolkit for Windows Phone 7. Now when I try to start any new WP 7 RTM application from VS 2010 Ultimate, all the time I get the similar error message:

Zune software is not launched. Retry after making sure that

Zune is launched

Bizarre, cause I indeed installed Zune and its launched on my machine.

Then I gave it an attempt from Expression Blend, started the same projects.

I need to get rid of this error. Please help me.

Thanks.

The most probable cause of that problem could be that you are targeting the Windows Phone instead of the Windows Phone Emulator. In the event that you install a January 2011 Update, then you will notice that the default deployment target for Windows Phone Projects in Visual Studio switches and goes to Windows Phone 7 Device. You will therefore need to change the default target so that it is the Windows Phone 7 Emulator.

Here are the steps that you will use:

  • First of all you will have to exit all Visual Studio and Windows Phone Emulator instances.

  • After that you will need to get rid all the contents of %LocalAppData%MicrosoftPhone ToolsCoreCon.

  • And then restart Visual Studio.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Carl
