Install Ad Hoc distributed app on iOS via USB, using iTunes running on Windows

Question

I would like to install an iOS7 iPhone app through an Windows iTunes. Following the App Distribution Guide I prepared the .ipa file. But the guide describes the installation on an iTunes running on a Mac only but not for Windows. What do I need to do to get the app installed on a test device connected to an Windows iTunes?

Thanks

Open the windows explorer in the folder where your .ipa is. Open side by side iTunes. After that, drag & drop the .ipa file from the explorer window to the itunes sidebar where you have the music/apps/etc

Doing this, you are adding the ipa to the iTunes Library. After that, you just need to go to the itunes section of your devide, and select you App (the ipa) to install.
