Phonegap in Visual Studio 2012

Question

Does anyone know how to make the project template for PhoneGap work in Visual Studio 2012?

Answer 1

I think the reason I cannot open my PhoneGap project is because PhoneGap(Cordova) targets Windows Phone 7.5 and below. Windows Phone development is not supported by default in Visual Studio 2012 and requires a separate installation for Windows Phone 8 here.

Unfortunately you need to be running Windows 8 for this installation to be successful and as I am still running Windows 7 I have been unable to go further than this. Maybe someone who has this installed can tell us if it works with PhoneGap(Cordova)

Answer 2

Visual Studio and Window Phone emulator did not works well at virtual machine. If you installed the emulator on separate partition, you have a better chance to succeed. I am still using Window 7.
