Windows Phone Power Tools is an even better tool to install XAPS. You get the integrated Iso store explorer and you can update a xap without having to reinstall it.

Also, this really probably belongs in general. It's not a hack (just basically re-stating instructions from the Microsoft tools) and while it's relevant to development, that's true only in a very vague sense. It's nothing new, or anything that most devs wouldn't already know...

Not saying it's a bad tutorial at all, just that I don't understand why you posted it here.

Tools only for WP8?

The Windows Phone Power Tools is only for WP8 isn't it?

WPPT was originally developed for WP7, I believe. I don't know if there's a version that can do both, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I think who knows how to developer unlock his/her phone of course can Install apps!
It's not a really strange thing for developers .
as @snickler mentioned using WP Power Tool is so much better because of visual Iso Storage browser and ability to update apps (that it's only possible using Command Prompt in original SDK Deployer)

I feel like this isn't the first guide on how to deploy XAPs. There is another one somewhere.

Yeah, it's covered in the WP8 FAQ.

Well, for a start, you could try searching before posting (you know, number one rule of the XDA-devs forum?) and reading up on that very well-known error code.
Additionally, you could try installing your store apps from the store, instead of trying to sideload them for some reason. (Yes, I know what reason. Go on, say it. The mods actually enforce *that* rule.)

It.s not one code it,s 3 different errors

I think his point was that the answer to your question can be found by googling it or using xda search. Also, he is right about the Mods not liking warez, discussions of warez, and we even don't like asking for help getting warez apps to work.

Whoa... I was about to say that I don't actually have a clue what "The End of the central map can not be find" means, but putting that exact phrase into Bing, without even correcting the grammar or anything, led to a discussion which clearly indicates it's either a corrupt archive (.XAPs are just ZIP archives, except for the DRM-encrypted ones), a multi-part archive (this should not be the case for a .XAP), or it's not actually an archive at all.

Search! The knowledge is out there (and it's faster to find it that way than by posting anyhow).
