If you are using Windows Server 2008R2 to code, you may have had an error installing the Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools. Indeed, the installer only support Windows Vista or Windows 7. But, there is a solution:
- Download the setup file
- Extract the contents of the package by running
vm_web.exe /x - Go to the folder where you extracted the files and open the file
baseline.dat - Search section
[gencomp7788] - Change the value
InstallOnLHSfrom 1 to 0 - Change the value
InstallOnWin7Serverfrom 1 to 0 - Save changes
- Start
setup.exe /web
I really do not understand why Microsoft chose not to support the installation on Windows Server by default.
