We have a rich interactive application build on Adobe AIR platform which runs on Windows 10. We want to make this available on our Microsoft Surface Hub with minimal changes?
I couldn't find any related information in internet.
Dos Microsoft Hub run on Windows 10? Please share a bit more info so I can help.
If it does, then the app should run without issues. If it doesn't but it comes with a Windows Store, then you can change your AIR app to be added in Windows Store and download from there.

I am developing a VB.Net based Windows8.1(10) Store application.
After published, I've found out that my App crashes on Windows8.1 while it works fine on Windows10.
So, I want to debug my App on the Windows8.1. However, I cannot find how to do so.
When I [Run] the App to [Simulator], it runs on clone of my computer, but I want to run it on other version of Windows.
Visual Studio 2015 is now installed on Windows10.
Thanks.
Disclaimer: I work on Visual Studio, though not on the Universal/Modern App area.
This is not a supported scenario and there is no feature present in Windows that emulates or simulates previous versions of the "Modern" runtime environment.
The Simulator feature is actually a local-loopback Remote Desktop (Terminal Services) session and existed to make it easier to debug Modern applications given that they could only run in a fullscreen mode, however as this is no-longer the case (as apps are now floating windows) the utility of the Simulator is limited, and as you're discovering is not relevant to your problem.
The only solution I can recommend is to use Hyper-V (or another desktop virtualisation product, such as VirtualBox or VMWare if you don't want a hypervisor installed) to install a dedicated Windows 8.1 environment followed by installing the Visual Studio Remote Debugger.
Given the rapid adoption of Windows 10 (as it is provided as a recommended update to the majority of Windows 8.1 users) I don't personally recommend explicitly targeting the Windows 8.x "Modern" app environment unless you know you will have users or if it's a contract requirement.
Here's the setup:
I'm trying to connect / deploy to a Motorola Windows Embedded Compact 7 device from VS 2008. The development machine VM is Windows XP (it has tools and SDKs going back to eVC3 on it that will not run on anything newer). It is therefore running ActiveSync as opposed to WMDC. Basic RAPI seems to be working as I can browse the device file system, ect via ActiveSync. This developemnt system works successfully with dozens of other devices, but this might be the first CE 7 device. And again, the error message was simply "The bootstrap could not be loaded".
I'd appreciate any tips on getting a successful connection to the CE 7 device working.
I had exactly the same problem. The solution for me was to install the SDK for the pda. Mine was MC32N0.
You can find the sdk here
Anybody knows how to use Isolated Storage tool for Windows Phone 8.1 WITHOUT using Command with ISETool.exe.
Some previous Isolated Storage Tools like IsoSpy, ISE, Windows Phone Power Tools that works with GUI are very user friendly while coding.
Are there any tools available like them?
IsoStoreSpy has been recently updated to support Windows Phone 8.1
No,windows provides only these 3 non command-line tools.
IsoStoreSpy is best tool that i have ever used.you can use it without visual studio.just you need windows 8 OS and xap installed on device/emulator.
This might be a stupid question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere. Does the Microsoft Surface SDK 2.0 only work with Microsoft Surface products, or can I use it with other touchscreens? I really just like the way the SurfaceTextBox control works (popping up a onscreen keyboard when clicked) and was wondering if I could use it in a program I'm making (which uses a Elo touchscreen monitor, not multi-touch).
Edit
Thanks for the responses. I downloaded and installed the SDK 2.0 and tried to run the sample apps that are included. They don't seem to respond to my finger touches but do work if I the included simulator. I'm running this on windows 7. Any reason why it doesn't seem to work on my touch screen?
Yes, you can use it with any touchscreen. It works on WinRT/Windows 8 as well as Windows 7. I have used it for surface, tablet (both WinRT as Win7 tablets) and touch-enabled desktop applications and it works absolutely fine.
The installer requires you to install Visual Studio 2010, but if you import the DLL's manually in the toolbox, you can also use it in both Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 preview. This is an answer on a different question, answered by one of my colleagues on how to use the Surface SDK 2.0 with Visual Studio 2012
It's a great toolkit to support touch-enabled WPF applications and can also be use as a replacement for the WinRT Metro UI, in case you cannot use that toolkit (e.g. when you interface with USB, or need desktop services).
Update:
Since you update your question to how to get the Elo Touchscreen to work with native Windows 7 touch, I suggest you download and install the latest drivers. Your touchscreen will only work with WPF touch / Surface SDK if native Windows touches are supported. Installing the latest drivers should do the job. Don't forget that you might have to enable and configure touch input in the Control Panel (Pen and Touch).
I noticed that in some cases touches are not working when you use a SurfaceWindow. Use a normal WPF Window and all the SurfaceControls should work. Thus if you want to use the sample applications on Windows 8 you need to replace SurfaceWindow with Window and remove the unavailable EventHandlers.
From Microsoft's web page:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff727815.aspx
The Microsoft Surface 2.0 SDK provides the managed APIs and the tools you need to develop Surface applications. Applications that are built using the Surface SDK can run on devices made for Surface 2.0, and on Windows 7 computers.

Surface SDK 2.0 is not dedicated to Windows RT for a Surface Tablet. it
is innitially dedicated on PIxelSense SUR40 unit or if you are bulding
windows 8 application with Pro version.
There has been a lot of confusion since the arrival of the Surface
tablet. The product name Surface before what the name of the Microsoft
Table touch table and the Samsung SUR40 device.
And that SDK was only working on those device. Then MS has release a
version (Surface SDK 2.0) which can be use also fro traditionnal Touch
PC application starting from Win 7.
Finally:
http://www.infoq.com/news/2011/07/Surface-2
With Microsoft Surface SDK 2.0 one can write applications for both
Surface and Windows Touch devices.
Surface 2.0 is not compatible with Surface 1.0 devices, and so far the
only compatible device is Samsung SUR40 [as of July 2011]...
These details have been public for a while, but Microsoft has just
made available Surface SDK 2.0. One of its key features is the ability
to target Windows Touch devices, that is Windows 7 computers with
touch input, so this SDK serves a much larger spectrum of devices. If
there are very few Surface devices out-there, there are lots of
Windows Touch ones, and their number is poised to grow.
Windows Touch applications are very similar to Surface ones, except
that the later supports full HD resolution and a multitude of touch
related inputs, such as finger and blob recognition, tagged objects,
tilted display, rotated display, etc.
At windows 8 you just need do that:
Run Microsoft Surface Input Simulater
Go to Device Manager
In Human Interface Devices, right click over Touchscreen compatible with HID and click activate.
Just that. ;)
What is the difference between Windows 8 Store App and Windows 8 Desktop Application. Can I use Javascript to create Windows 8 Desktop Application. I found an article from Intel which give some difference between these two applications. But it is not clear
Windows 8 Desktop Application
- You can download the softwares and install it . No Marketplace required
- Traditional development tools like C# , C++ , Winforms , WPF etc
Windows 8 Store App
- You can install it only via Windows Store and uploading the app to the store will undergo certification process.
- YOu can develop using XAML with C#/VB.NET/C++ , HTML/JavaSCript/CSS , Embarcadero Prism etc.
- Designed mainly for Touch
no you can't use javascript to write you own desktop program.
Here a simple overview about both type:
Windows 8 Desktop Application:
That just the basic program like notepad, MS Word, AutoCad...
Writing in the know language such as C++, C# ...
Windows 8 Store App
Here you create app in that new start menu. Click on the button in the start menu to open you own app. Here you can write the app also in html5/javascript.
Actually, you can sideload Windows RT apps too, which is useful for LOB apps. Take a look at the Windows RT Development guide -
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30703
Section titled "Installing developer packages on Windows RT outside the Windows Store" (Pg 19)
HTH
JavaScript can't be used to create a Desktop Application.
see ,desktop apps are those apps that required you to run Setup.exe file and were installed through a Pen drive or a CD or might be you got it from internet.
These apps run on operating system like Windows 7, Windows XP and gave you the full control on what you want to install and what not .
Windows 8 Metro apps are apps on your phone
This I am telling for real understanding.
You go to android store and download temple run for example.
The game is acceded from the online store and you have no discretion on it.similar way we have these metro apps
