Windows phone7 application deployment on phone

Question

I want to install manually downloaded files from marketplace onto my windows phone 7,which do not have SD card. How can I do this?

Answer 1

You can't install manually downloaded XAP from the Windows Phone marketplace. This xap is encrypted and can be used only on Windows Phone device with SD card. Only marketplace on WP device can read sd card and will be able install apps from it. There is no additional tools available that will allow you to install this xap.

Answer 2

What you can do is once you obtain the .XAP file which is the WP file format for apps, you can get the Windows Phone SDK which comes with all the Windows Phone developing tools and Application Deployment tool. This allows you to deploy any .XAP file onto your phone.

Getting the SDK is the only way as I'm not aware if the Application Deployment Tool comes standalone.
