Question

I am developing a small windows phone application and it work fine when i run in the emulator. my problem is that i wanted to test in my device that. since am using windows 8. and in windows 8 zune cannot be installed ( each time it show an error due to .NET 3.5 cannot be installed). someone please tell me how can i test in my device my application or a way to install zune in windows 8.

what i have done:
1. I tried to install zune many times everytime the same Error(Cannont download .NET 3.5).
2. Tried to turn "ON" the .NET 3.5 feature. result was the same.

i found that zune was no more using(changed to xbox music and dont know what that will do).Is there any way i can test my app on my device?

if none of these going to work is there any alternative option?

Answer 1

If you have your installation CD or the image loaded use this in command prompt
Example :

dism.exe /online /enable-feature /featurename:NetFX3 /Source:G:\sources\sxs /LimitAccess
1. run this command as Administrator
2. Instead of G: give your drive where you have the installation Disc

Answer 2

Go to the Control Pannel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features On or Off > Check .NET 3.5

After you are done with that, install the Zune software and you should be good to go.
