Im developing a Metro app based on WinJS-HTML5-CSS3
all the metro apps installed and developed are stored in one location
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps
there if I look for my metro app and enter inside I found my same folder distribution, however if I open default.html my metro app is displayed on IE11 not in the same metro environment
Is there a way to execute my metro app from the desktop, I mean like a executable, what I want is to take my folder with me and then run this "executable"
thanks in advance for the support
There is not currently a supported way to execute a Windows Store Application developed using the Windows Runtime on the desktop. While you can "side-load" an application in some instances (TechNet reference), WinRT applications must be "installed" to run.

A client has asked us to "revive" an old Windows Mobile application that is used by their receiving department.
At some point they wrote a custom Windows Mobile 6 app for Windows CE devices (a Motorola MC55A to be specific).
They have a project in place to replace this app - but it won't happen for a bit and they want to install the custom app on some newly refurbished devices they found as an interim solution.
I found the source code for the application. It even contains an installer project that generates the CAB files.
What I do not know how to do is get the compiled app and installer onto the device.
I am using one of their legacy computers to build the app and connect to the device. The computer has Windows Mobile Center installed and when I see the device connected - I the ability to add / remove programs on the device.
Not sure if this is the route I should be going. Ideally I want to put the installer behind a web page and just have each device download the installer to install the app.
This stuff is pretty dated - I am having a hard time on the specifics of deployment.
You can put the CAB file on the device and launch it manually using the file explorer on the device to install the files.
Some industrial devices like Honeywell, Intermec, Motorola, Symbol, Zebra and others support the auto install of cab files, if the files are put in a special folder on the device. For former Intermec Honeywell devices, this folder is called \Flash File Store\CabFiles. If a cab file is placed in this folder, it will be installed on the next reboot.
You may also put a link to the CAB file on a web site and open that web site within the Internet Explorer on the device. The device will ask for the installation, when the file link is tapped. Please note that some web server like IIS by default block CAB files from being loaded! If so, you need to configure the web server to allow cab file downloading.
Many months later, but I wanted to answer this for future reference, when you DEPLOY Solution, Visual Studio (2008 was the last one supporting windows mobile apps) will ask you for a target device or emulator, here you can select the device and it will be installed, there will be no entry in add/remove programs on the device unless you install it via an installation CAB. You must create an "Smart Device Cab Project" and configure it for your solution.
Are there any ways to simulate ionic hybrid apps on Windows 7 without using MacOS or virtual machine such as VMware/virtual box?.
Specifically, I read ionic documents and references and tried to apply sim-ios & sim-deploy on Windows 7. However, on Windows, sim-deploy seems not supported.
and the information I am looking for related to this is pretty much out-dated.
NO..., To simulate a app you need Xcode installed which you cannot on windows, You can get away with browser testing using Chrome built in browsers but that's about it.

I have to continu the work of an intern, working on windows 8.1 store application.
For the context, I am a very beginner with windows 8.1 OS, and also with windows 8.1 app dev... So at the moment, I don't know, what informations you will need to help me, and that's annoying, so please tell me if I miss anything.
So, I tried first, to install what he does.
In the debug folder, I found some app.exe, so I tried them and got the message "the app must be in a app container" (in french, I can only translate in english, I don't know if it's the same in the english Windows...).
So, I tried something else, deploy the application with Visual studio, but I don't find any results in the project folder...
It is an app that is meant for an enterprise, so there is no need to deploy it in the windows store.
How can I deploy it, so I can install the application myself, on all the desks easily?
I found this, but cannot find any .appx file .

I have packaged my application successfully using ripple with chrome.
What process i have to follow to deploy my app to my blackberry device for testing purpose?
There are several ways.
You can try using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager software which should allow you application syncing.
You can use the JavaLoader commandline tool, provided by BlackBerry.
Personally, I use JavaLoader.
It is a simple one-liner in CMD: javaloader load path-to-cod-file
The one-liner above assumes you have added JavaLoader (an .exe in the bin folder of the BlackBerry WebWorks SDK for BlackBerry OS 6/7) to your PATH, so that it will be available for useage like in the example)
Please keep an mind that after you generate the .cod file using Ripple, what you basically have is an actual BlackBerry (WebWorks) project, the way to deploy it would be the same as any other BlackBerry application, whether it was created by Worklight or any other software.
I want to know using my desktop application can i access Blackberry desktop manager (or) any USB interface programmatically to load(install) a blackberry application into blackberry device? Basically i want to load(install) any blackberry developed application to the device using my desktop application interface.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
There is no BB Desctop API to install application:

UPDATE
You can send data to device, but to open named channel you will need running application on device side which will register and operate with same-named channel... although there are speculation about "using RIM API calls to compose *.cod file directly in device internal memory." I have no idea how to do this without installing any app on device previously.
