Problem when starting Windows Phone 7 Emulator
-
Hi, as the title suggests, I get the following error: Failed to open XML parser COM object. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\1.0\WM7_skin.xml Error while processing skin file C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\1.0\WM7_Skin.xml View element is either missing or invalid. System is Windows 7 64 bit with Visual Studio 2010. Didn't find any useful advice in the Net. Any idea here maybe? Thanks...
Do you have the SDK installed? Perhaps reinstalling it will help. Also, this question would have been better posted in the Mobile forum as it deals with Mobile development rather than C# in general

I', soory about that, I didn't know there was an extra forum devoted to Mobile development... As far as the SDK concerns, well I installed the Windows Phone Developer Tools, to be more precise the machine did it, as I had to use the online installer, which I hate, but I didn't find a "normal" installation file to download. Shouldn't the SDK be included?

That is the web installer and I' ve already done it. My only hope is to try the Windows Phone Developer Tools 7.1 Beta, although something keeps telling me that it will not help and maybe I 'll get problems into running VS afterwards (it happened already once during my previous efforts). Thanks anyway...

Have you installed all of these? (I copied this from a reply I posted elsewhere)... Download and install the Windows Phone SDK (Windows Phone Developer Tools), the Windows Phone Developer Tools January 2011 Update, and the Windows Phone Developer Tools Fix. They can be found here[^] (look under "Windows Phone Developer Tools 7.0" and follow instructions). I wouldn't try the beta unless you're willing to be a tester :)

I tried everything, even uninstalling and reinstalling all the stuff. Did not work! Unhandled exception in XDE.exe... whoever knows why... I'm thinking of switching into Android, maybe I'll have better luck there

You're running Visual Studio as an administrator, yes?

Yes, of course. Meanwhile I succesfully installed it on another machine. I think I'messed it up having installed some of the german and/or the english versions of Visual Studio. But I do not know what to fix or deinstall. Isn't there any advice in which direction that problem could be resolved? I mean other than just reinstalling everything, which apparently doesn't work... The machine says the following: Failed to open XML parser COM object. C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\1.0\WM7_skin.xml Error while processing skin file C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\1.0\WM7_Skin.xml View element is either missing or invalid. What could (or should) be the work around to such a problem?

I thought I remember hearing something about at least one of the WP7 tools only working on EN versions...you may be on to something there.

I wouldn't know. My last hope was installing Blend 4, when I found out that it was not the english version. Alas... it was again only lost time... It seems however, I am not the only one with that problem, at least it has occured to others before. http://blog.robgarrett.com/2006/08/15/failed-to-open-xml-parser-com-object/ http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/microsoftdeviceemu/thread/7dff48af-2d25-4a52-a849-2b357b283386 None of those tricks helped me though... still searching, it must have been a long time since I haven't gone beyond the 3rd page on a google search...
