从Windows 10将Cordova应用程序部署到Windows Phone 8.1设备

Question

I'm trying to deploy my Cordova app to a WP 8.1 device from Windows 10. For this, I'm executing cordova run --device -- --phone .

However, this command fails with an error message that C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows Phone\\v8.1\\Tools\\AppDeploy\\AppDeployCmd.exe is missing. I manually checked and found out there is a C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows Phone\\v8.1\\Tools directory with some contents, but no AppDeploy inside.

The next steps I took were:

• Change my VS 2015 installation and make sure everything related to WP is checked
• Install VS 2013 and do the same as above
• Install all WP 8.1 related items from here (development tools, emulators)

After all these steps, the Application Deployment tool is still not available.

What am I doing wrong, ie what else do I need to install?

Update:

Error message:

ERROR: App deployment utilities: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows Phone\\v8.1\\Tools\\AppDeploy\\AppDeployCmd.exe", not found. Ensure the Windows SDK is installed.

For what it's worth, building works, and I can open the generated project in Visual Studio and deploy from there without any problems.

Answer 1

I found a solution myself:

On my machine, I'm using two drives, and SSD ( C: ) and a hard drive ( Z: ). Windows and some programs are installed on C: , but due to limited space, many programs are located on Z: .

For some reason, AppDeployCmd.exe was located on Z: under the same path as it was expected on C: , ie Z:\\Program Files (x86)\\Microsoft SDKs\\Windows Phone\\v8.1\\Tools\\AppDeploy\\AppDeployCmd.exe . Apparently, parts of the SDK were installed on Z: and others on C: , even though I though this couldn't be customized in the wizard.

Anyway, I just copied the AppDeploy directory to it's dedicated position on C: and deploying works now.
