wf Phone Tools 0.2 alpha

I may recommend you to use http://resourcelib.codeplex.com/, to extract localized strings and display correct app name instead of @AppResLib.dll,-100

getting error

i found only this
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/bb735936.aspx

is this ok???? someone say v3 is v10...

edit: is not... not working.... where to download v10???

I keep getting an error when trying to launch the app. It says that a required assembly "Microsoft.VisualBasic.PowerPacks.vs Version 10.0.0.0 be installed in the Global Assembly Cache first." When I Binged looking for an answer to this, I found this on the Microsoft MSDN Forums:

I was able to fix this by de-selecting these items in the properties window of my project file.
In the Publish Tab, under Install Mode & Settings, Click the "Prerequisites" button, then only select the Items you need to install.

I downloaded the Microsoft Visual Basic Power Pack 3.0 installer, and that didn't help fix the issue.

@dxdy: I think andreacorti has to fix the Click-to-Install installer, as it's including some prereq's that clients do not have or need, as just having the correct .NET Client Framework is all that should be needed to run the application.

Awsome, Looks great, can't wait to get home from work to try this...

Exactly what I have been looking for. Too many different apps to install XAP files and others to do other things.

Hi.. the correct framework version is selected (4.0) .
the power pack dll is actually needed, i use a control from that dll..

I included also the power pack in the package and in the requisites.. could you please check if it's working? thanks!!

(the dll with guid {250BEABB-55E8-43bb-AC97-2D95674ECE14} - C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Phone Tools\CoreCon\10.0\Bin\ConMan2.dll - is needed and I cannot include in the package.. I think zune or the sdk install it )

I do have .NET 4.0 installed on my system (run plenty of other .NET 4.0 software.) I just looked on my system, and I don't have a BIN folder under C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Phone Tools\CoreCon\10.0\. BTW, I do have Zune installed, as well as the Windows Phone 7.1 SDK. I don't know why this file doesn't exist on my system.

Ok, so I tried your updated Click-to-Install and it's now working. Well, the application launches. Do our devices need to be Interop-Unlocked for this to work? My Focus S is just developer unlocked.

thanks for the tip, will add it to the site

Edit: A small XAP 205KB, has been hanging for more than 5 min claiming installing. Tried it with another app, it was done in 5 seconds...

Got it running, it cuts off the bottom of the buttons more than 1/2 way, extending the window does not fix.

Attached image if you want to see what I mean...

I know it's a small bug....but, it's a bug.

Anyplan you might make a regular .exe app? This .application is not working for me. I have .net fw 4 but I can't get this to deploy. Just an unknown file extension.

Thanks for helping me get 'Samsung extra settings' app off my phone. The auto brightness setting would not disable on my Focus. It, Ministry of sound and App Highlights were the three apps it detected that were installed before using your tool.

Again, big thank you!!!

Any plans to impliment export SMS on Desktop using this tool. Also is the PDf and Doc Uploader is same as Book Uploader tool which came out recently ?

Thanks a lot for your app

PLEASE upload the file somewhere else?

Awesome. We did a review of this tool at WPXBOX.

One problem is with the Isolated Storage which always remain blank but if I open it from Advance Tab it displays the PDF file uploaded.

Secondly icons for Homebrew tools aren't displayed properly.
