I'm trying to use the Isolated Storage Explorer tool from Windows Phone SDK in order to retrieve data stored in specific Windows Phone Apps' IsolatedStorage and copy it to a folder that resides in my computer.
My computer runs Windows 8 Pro, and i have both the WP7 and WP8 SDKs installed.
The problem is that when i run the command prompt and insert a command line (such as the one below) i get an error that states:
"This app can't run on your PC"
How do i solve this? Thanks
Example:
ISETool.exe ts xd f8ce6878-0aeb-497f-bcf4-65be961d4bba c:\data\myfiles
I'd suggest you try using the Windows Phone Power Tools instead of what you are doing there. It will give you a nice UI to work with instead of trying to get a command line tool to work.
If you really want to use that tool then please post which directory you are running it from otherwise it is hard to tell why it won't work.

I have 2 windows phone devices on my account that I use for testing. But they get locked for no reason.. I have to unlock it almost everyday. It even happened twice in one day. I haven't figured out what is causing this...
Is anyone experiencing this same issue?
**** UPDATE MESSAGE ****
This is the latest bizzare update on this bug... I've pasted my post in Microsoft Forum below:
I'm experiencing a very strange bug that I don't know if it is on the Windows Phone SDK or in Visual Studio.
I have 2 WP 8.1 devices to test an app that I'm developing. This was the sequence of events that led to this lock down:
Suddenly one phone that I used the most started to ask, almost everyday, to develop unlock the device...
Then the other phone started to do the same.
Now everytime I make a release version and run it targeting Device in Visual Studio, VS 2013 crashes... And the phone gets developer locked again.
Then I found a workaround that was to use the Application Deployment tool from the SDK only to test the release version. (Debug version it deployed without any problems on the device)
Today I forgot the manually deploy the XAP and clicked run in VS. VS crashed... Then I tried to deploy using the SDK tool it said that phone was locked... I unlocked it and clicked on the Deploy button again. Then the error: The maximum number of developer applications on this phone has been reached appeared.
I've uninstalled the app from the Windows Phone device manually and tried again and the same error occured.
I tried the other test device and had to register it again and got the same error.
Now I can't deploy any release version and I don't know how to fix this issue.
Do you know how can I fix all this Visual Studio bugs? I can't seem to find anyone else with the same problem as I'm having.
No, i have three unlocked devices in my account but one wp8.1 and other two win10, if you can upgrade your wp8.1 devices to windows 10 do that using that app because windows has inbuilt feature to developer unlock device, so your device won't get locked again automatically.
if you don't want to upgrade to and need assistance go to this link
this link requires you to login with your outlook account or may require you to login with your windows developer account.
and extra information if don't have windows developer account and want to publish your app go to this link from your windows mobile device or directly search for "Dev Share" App in windows store.
Is there a way to build metro application that runs in console?
There is no console in the "Metro*" interface. There is still a command prompt on the desktop and that has not changed from Windows 7. This is not going to allow you to run a "Metro*" app, however - it is a command prompt.
I think you may need to do a bit of research into what the "Metro*" UI is, and what it is not.
* This UI is no longer called "Metro", but I have referred to it as such to avoid clouding the issue.
You can use a console if you need that in Windows 8, and your console applications will continue to work. But this is not Metro.
Hitting a couple of issues attempting to setup automated testing of our C++ code on Windows Phone 8.
1) I'm hitting the limit of installed applications on our device. Is there any way to automate uninstalling the applications on the device? Via the command line?
2) Is there a recommended method to run unit tests on WinPhone8? Currently, I'm using devenv to load/run the our solution file. This has provided inconsistent results. The Windows Phone debugger doesn't get set in some cases, this causing a 'debugger not set' error when attempting to run.
Here is some good information on unit testing in Windows Phone 8:

JustinAngel's answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/13429709/2087252 gives an example how to automate installing, running and deleting of applications on Windows Phone 8.
To make it work you'll need to reference following dlls from your project:
Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.Interface.dll
Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.dll
Microsoft.Smartdevice.MultiTargeting.Connectivity.dll
If you want to run your application/test on emulator, you can start it with following command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.0\xde.exe" /name "Emulator WVGA 512MB.username"
where username is your windows username.
I need to inject custom drivers to wim file offline.
I'm using standard scenario described on MSDN http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh825206.aspx: mount, add-components (WMI, .NET4), add-drivers (signed, work correctly on windows 7 & 2012, x86/64), unmount, makewinpemedia.
However, when I booting from iso (on VMWare), drivers not loading.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
The most important thing while developing Win PE driver is to follow the architecture(using 32 bit on 64 bit Win PE can cause failures)
Follow the steps:-
Take the 'Custom Windows PE' rescue CD option in the rescue CD wizard.
If you haven't previously installed the Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK), then this will need to be downloaded and installed. This is a big (1.7GB) download, so please be patient. The WAIK download dialog will be shown. Just click 'Continue' and be patient while the integration completes.
Once the integration is finished cancel the rescue media wizard.
Download and run 'inject.exe' from here:
http://updates.macrium.com/reflect/utilities/inject.exe
This will automatically inject the drivers into the windows image file (WIM) and will take a few minutes.
Once completed, take the rescue media build wizard again, select the 'Custom Windows PE' and click through to the final page.
Click the 'Rebuild' button to re-integrate the WAIK. This will not need to download and install the WAIK again, so will be much quicker.
Once completed, if you now burn the rescue CD the drivers will be integrated and you should have no problems booting with the CD and recognizing your local RAID volumes.
Have you gone through Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) you can have a look at the following link it may help you.
http://kb.acronis.com/content/24254
Windows PE always uses the same basic VESA mode video driver regardless of the card in use.
Please check the link below.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc160920.aspx
This particular link for creation of the ISO with Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) can also help you get going.

i did spent some time with Win PE,there is a image below are you getting the same message while booting with VM?
There are some additional steps given in the follwing link you can check if it works this way

I have a problem using devcon.exe in Windows 7 for the purpose of removing drivers, it worked fine in Windows XP. However, I can't remove the drivers using "dp_delete" and "Remove" in Windows 7.
Anyone has an idea why it might happen?
Thanks.
Download the “Windows Driver Kit (WDK) 7.1.0″ from MS, it is an ISO image several hundreds meg
Using UniversalExtractor (http://legroom.net/software/uniextract), extract the ISO to a temporary directory.
Again using UniversalExtractor, extract the install file "WDK\setuptools_x64fre.msi" to a temporary directory.
In that temporary directory you will find "WinDDK\7600.16385.win7_wdk.100208-1538\tools\devcon\amd64\devcon.exe". This devcon works fine under W7x64 Pro.
Along the way UniversalExtractor will prompt you with some warnings, just click OK.

Just an idea for another one that have the same issue and can migrate it: you can use wmic instead devcon. Its work better and it's Query Oriented Language (WMI)
