1. Windows 8.1 doesn't support UWP apps. If you choose to develop Universal Windows apps with Visual Studio 2015 on a platform other than Windows 10, these are the restrictions: Windows 8.1: You can’t run the app locally (only on a remote Windows 10 device). You can use the emulators in Visual Studio, but not the simulator.
2. No. The simulator isn't an emulator: It simulates resolution and input through a terminal server session connected back to the local host running the local OS. The Windows Phone emulators are different. They are hyper-v images of the target mobile OS and so don't need to match the host OS. I thought so, but really hoped there is a way to do it.
You cannot develop apps targeting Windows 8 new features on a Windows 7 machine. VS 2012 works fine in Windows 7, but for every app type but Metro style. edited Aug 2, 2012 at 22:11. Robert Harvey. 180k 48 344 508.
Yes, the Windows Phone 8 Simulator / Windows Phone 8 Emulator can run directly in OS X. However the mouse cursor is not visible. Mouse works, but no cursor/circle to show where your pointer is, which makes the VM difficult to use. Windows Phone 8 Simulator does the same thing on Windows when launched in Hyper V Manager (rather than Visual Studio).
Unable to start the Simulator. Another user on this computer is running Simulator, can not start Simulator. Up until that point I was able to debug the application in the simulator without problems. I tried rebooting to make sure there wasn't an instance of the simulator stuck open somewhere, but that didn't help.
9. The Windows 8 simulator which comes with Visual Studio 2012 does not launch either via debugging in Visual Studio or by running it directly. As the simulator used remote desktop (RDP) and the issue occurs within Visual Studio & if I start it directly. I have identified that if my VPN is NOT enabled, then the simulator works fine.
I am new with windows 8 development, I am running microsoft visual studio windows phone express 2012 and ran into a problem where when I try to run the application it just shows the default device selected and not the simulators. I read some msdn forms where they said to install the SDK 8.0 but windows phone express already comes with the SDK 8.
4. You can find the Simulator executable at ... C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Windows Simulator\11.0. Looking at Windows.Simulator.exe with ILSpy, however, it appears that the only startup command it looks for is /Minimized. If you check out OnStartup, it contains the code ...
Logitech Setpoint: it captures the mouse wheel in the simulator, which means I can't use the wheel any more in the host session (I have to kill Setpoint in the simulator to fix it) It seems to me that the best way to fix this problem would be to have the simulator open a session with a different user account, so that it doesn't interfere with ...
1. The simulator is a WPF app so I used Snoop to find the DataContext for the dropdown. Then I used JustDecompile to look around the code to find out where the contents came from. You can also add them to a config section in Microsoft.Windows.Simulator.exe.config if you like. FWIW you cannot extend the list in the device pane in Visual Studio ...
