I'm trying to debug a spotify app in spotify on a windows system. But I'm not able to start the app. I've the same problem which is described in this Post but on Windows XP the paths are different.
I tried C:\Documents and Settings[user name]\My Documents\Spotify but that doesn't work. Any idea how I can get that to work?
I needed to restart the VM. Than it worked.

I have universal project targeting Windows Store 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 platform.
The windows one works fine but I having trouble running the WP one on an emulator. I get the error message saying:
Microsoft Visual Studio Unable to activate Windows Store app
'numbers-here!App'. The Kiss.WindowsPhone.exe process started, but the
activation request failed with error 'Msg in polish that the app did
not start'.
If this was Windows I would check System Event Log and see the logs just before the error what DLL the system was trying to load and that helped a lot when I was debugging similar problem with Windows Store project, here I have no clue on how to check what exactly was being loaded.
The worst part is that I created package (appx) and checked the dll's being packed with exe, it seems that it includes dependencies that the app explicility uses yet something is still missing and this might be some 'hidden' dependency of one of the other dlls.
Any ideas how to debug such issues with emulator?
For me it was due to having WIC code in my App and/or calling CoCreateInstance in a windows phone environment ( on PC it works flawlessly though )
I ran into the same problem on Windows 10. Turns out, that there is no Kernel32.dll on Windows 10 phone!
Instead you need to link against OneCore.lib which provides the entire Win32 API subset that is supported in UWP. This "umbrella library" will load the correct dlls at runtime.

I´m developing a Windows 8 App, and it needs a desktop app running on background to work properly.
So i have two questions:
1.- The OS is a Windows 8.1 Industry Embedded. I need to autorun the desktop app and my Windows 8 app at startup.
Here explains how to do so with a Windows 8 App, but not with a desktop app, so i´m using this other solution to add the application to the Windows Startup folder, but i´m not sure if this is the best way.
2.- Then, when my app starts, i should check if the other app is running or not to work in one way or another. How can i check that? I´m developing with HTML and Javascript.
Thanks!
Yes that is the 'proper' solution to starting a desktop app on startup. Otherwise you can look at creating a windows service that manages the app lifecycle.
By design, winRT apps are not supposed to talk to desktop applications, but if you are sideloading the winRT app (i.e., not through the Windows Store), you could run a local server with your desktop app, and then enable local loopback with localhost in your winRT app and communicate that way.
I have a web application asp.net to deploy to Windows Azure. This application contains one web role. I try to run it on local first. But when debugging, I catch this error from VS2010: "Window Azure Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio
The Web Browser can not be started. To resolve this problem, you must restart Windows."
I have restarted windows several times, but there was no luck.![enter image description here][1]
I've search so hard to find the solution for this problem but there's nothing seems work for me. I'm a newbie in Windows Azure, it's really a big trouble with me. Please help me! Thanks a lot. Best Regards.
There could be two problems:
Problem with your IIS settings: It is possible that there is a problem with your IIS in your machine which could not be restarted when VS2010, wants to run it.
To verify it what you can do it launch your Web Role using "View in Browser" setting and see if your Web Role can run in IIS, you will see the web role started in a URL as http:\localhost:XXXXX and that would be the first step to resolved.
Problem will your Windows Azure SDK which could not launch the WebBrowser to run in IIS
If you don't have problem in this step #1, then it is possible that Windows Azure SDK has some problem trying to start your IIS from external process and this could be caused by corrupted SDK installation or any other reason.
If that is the case try:
remove all Windows Azure SDK components from your machine.
Restart the machine, Install Azure SDK from here for VS2010
After SDK install, restart the VS2010 in admin mode and try created a hello world webrole and see what happens.
Ok, first of; here's what I did:
Install AZURE tools
Reboot
Start Visual Studio - new Azure project
Add web role (asp.net MVC 4 beta web role)
Hit F5 (debug)
It starts up the storage emulator and the compute emulator and starts to load in runtimes, and then I get a popup saying that the debugger couldn't connect.
Then after some googeling I'm suggested to try to run the application without running the debugger to see if I can acces the application. When I do I get this:
So I figure that IIS does not have permissions to access some file/directory. So I go to IIS and look up the application pool running the app, and it tells me that the identity in use is NetworkService, then I go give NetworkService full permissions to the entirety of the folder IIS has set for the application (which also happens to be the path to the project dir). Still I get the same error. Now I'm more or less out of ideas, but I try one last thing, which is to also give IUSR full permissions to the same dir, but this did not help either.
How can I go about resolving this problem? I haven't tried actually launching my project to Azure yet, cause if I can't even get it to work in development I don't see much point. Any and all help would be appreciated.
I ran into the same error today after uninstalling .NET 4.5/Visual Studio 11 Dev Preview, then installing ASP.NET MVC 4 Beta (this is before Feb 29th when the updated VS 2011 Preview drops).
Since I uninstalled .net 4.5, you just need to do an "aspnet_regiis -i" to ensure the .net framework (4.0) is set up with IIS 7.x this worked for me.
Edit: This will work if you uninstall/then manually install Visual Studio 2012 RTM as well.
I had a similar error yesterday. For me the problem was that the output of the build was empty in the target folder.
I tried to answer a similar question https://stackoverflow.com/a/9411422/182371:
Check %UserProfile%\AppData\Local\dftmp\IISConfiguratorLogs\IISConfigurator.log
file for the error messages. Mode details at
https://stackoverflow.com/a/8432621/182371
Make sure that the build output of your project is not empty. You can do this by going to IIS, find the site with the name similar to
'deployment16(6).WindowsAzureProject2.WebApplication3_IN_0', right
click --> Explore.... Make sure that this folder is not empty and
contains all the files required to start a web project successfully.
As for the Access Denied error:
it could be just an IIS default setting to disable browsing. To resolve that, just navigate to that web site in IIS, find Directory Browsing icon, and press Enable. You will at least see the files inside that directory.
Also try not only 127.0.0.1:81, buta specific document inside that folder, like 127.0.0.1:81/Default.aspx
Take into account the fact that there's sometimes some mess with the ports. You see that in the error message it's port 82, but in your browser it's port 81. So make sure you're using the right port. Or, even better, in your service definition try to use some non-standard port for this to avoid remapping.
I've met the same issue. In the end, I had to reinstall IIS 7.
I got this exact same error and tried a re-install of IIS and the Azure SDK - nothing worked.
Eventually tracked it down to the "IIS URL Rewrite Module 2". I went to the Control Panel and chose Repair and it resolved it. If you have a section in your web.config then this might be the cause.
Follow step 11 from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35448. Worked for me on Windows 8 with Oct 2012 SDk when upgraded from 2011.
I'm jumping into updating a Classic ASP web app coming from a PHP background and am trying to get my bearings. I'm used to just installing something like MAMP, messing the httpd.conf a bit and getting on my way.
Ideally, I would like to be able to edit this app completely locally on my Macbook Pro running OS X Leopard so that I'm not messing with my client's server too much. Now, if I need to I'm willing to install Windows 7 via Boot Camp or running it as a virtual machine. Of course my preference is to stay completely in OS X, but I have my doubts about that possibility. So, how should I go about this?
One thing to note is that once I'm done updating this ASP web app I will have to make changes to a VB(.NET) application as well, so I'd like to have to change my virtual workspace as little as possible when that time comes around.
As you say, you will need to install Windows via Boot Camp or VM (your choice).
Once in Windows, you can install Visual Studio 2010 (Express free), where you can edit your ASP Classic files, and you will have it already installed when you need to do VB.net
Do not forget to install IIS when you install Windows (you will need it to run ASP Classic)
