Running directx SDK samples on a Windows Mobile 6.1 device - deployment

I tried to run the directx samples from ..\Windows Mobile 6 SDK\Samples\PocketPC\CPP\win32\directx\d3dm\tutorials on a Samsung Omnia and on the emulator and it doesn't work because of a deployment error.
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and have installed Windows Mobile SDK Standard and Professional refresh.
The device is correctly plugged in and set up for active sync (I know this because other samples work, also a creating Win32 smart device application and running it works).
When I try to run a directx sample application it compiles without errors but the message:
" There were deployment errors, Continue? Yes/No" appears
If I manually copy the application from the debug folder to the device and run it from there, it works.
The same deployment error message appears if I try it on an emulator. Other applications are deploying successfully.
Is there any way to make the deployment work? Maybe there is an obscure option I need to set...
What I do is:
Connect the Mobile device to the PC,
Open Visual Studio 2008,
Open a directx sample project,
Click Run (in Debug or Release mode).

The problem with the deployment is that the file msvcr80.dll could not be found.
It was specified at the deployment options as an additional file "Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->Deployment" then "General->Additional files"
with the paths msvcr80.dll|$(BINDIR)\$(INSTRUCTIONSET)\|%CSIDL_WINDOWS%|0;
Removing it makes the deployment successful. I have only tested this on a Windows Mobile 6.1 device and with the D3DM reference driver on an WM6.1/WM6 emulator.
What I haven't figured out is where does $(BINDIR)\$(INSTRUCTIONSET) point to.
Also I don't know why msvcr80.dll is in the addition files if it is not actually needed.
Is there actually a msvcr80.dll compiled for Windows Mobile platform on an ARM cpu?

I was able to resolve this issue after doing some low-level Sysinternals Debugging. It was trying to deploy NETCFv35.Messages.EN.cab to the device and in my case it was deleted for some reason. Re-installing .NET CF fixed the issue for me. Wish VS 2008 said what file was missing instead of a generic message. Hope this helps you too.

Unable to deploy on HoloLens

My setup
HoloLens
Windows 10 October 2018 Update (10.0.17763.134)
Desktop
Windows 10 Enterprise
Visual Studio Community 2017 Version
Unity 2018.2.19f1 (Latest 7th December 2018 Update)
The Problem
I am unable to deploy any application to the HoloLens, but able to deploy it on hololens-emulator. I'm attempting with the Origami application exported from Unity as in the tutorial. I'm able to pair with the HoloLens easily and I have developer mode on. Visual Studio also does auto-detect the device as a remote machine. But when I attempt to deploy it, I always get the same "DEP0100" error, that the device is not in developer mode though the device is already in a developer mode. I'm at a loss for what else to try, or what setting I've missed. I've reset the HoloLens several times and reinstalled Visual Studio only to get the same thing.
I have already tried the solution mentioned here Unable to deploy HoloLens application but it didn't work for me.
It is not clear what you got. But I have couple ideas:
You connected to HL as Remote Machine, but HL is Device.
You built an appx as x64, but HL is x86.
You didn't install a proper runtime, debug or release.
You use older SDK than HL platform version.
You minimal target platform is higher then HL platform version.
Maybe something else. You need to investigate the Hololens logs. Open "Windows Device Portal"/System/Logging.
Then you need to select some providers with severity by choosing them in box and clicking "Enable". I usually begin from "Microsoft-Windows-WinRT-Error" ETW provider.
DO NOT CLOSE THE LOGGING PAGE!!!!!
Start the debugger with app, see the error and go to Logging page. Try to find out the root of issue.

Error : DEP6200 : Bootstrapping 'Device' failed. Device cannot be found

I've read every StackOverflow that I could find on this issue, but I still can't work it out.
I'm trying to deploy an app to actual device (NOT emulator). But I receive the following error when i try to build:
Severity Code Description Project File Line
Error Error : DEP6100 : The following unexpected error occurred during bootstrapping stage 'Connecting to the device '30F105C9-681E-420b-A277-7C086EAD8A4E'.':
SEHException - External component has thrown an exception. App1
and
Severity Code Description Project File Line
Error Error : DEP6200 : Bootstrapping 'Device' failed. Device cannot be found. App1
It's worth mentioning that I went from Windows 7 to Windows 10. It's also worth mentioning that my computer was missing the IpOverUsbSvc.exe (not just the registry post, but the actual service was missing). Couldn't find any way to get this back so, so my colleague sent over the .exe and the DLLs and I placed it in it's location. And the service is now running and no longer gives any errors. My device is recognized by the PC, it's running Windows 10 Mobile (but I've also tried with a device running Windows 8.1).
Specs on PC:
Windows 10 Pro (Build 10240)
Using Visual Studio 2015
UWP Tools
Any suggestions to fix my nightmare? Thanks!
Steps that helped me. I have windows 10 mobile build 10581 (and now 10586) installed on phone
Turn off Developer mode on your phone.
Deploy app (UWP or SL) by VS2015 -> Error.
Turn on Developer mode on your phone.
Deploy app (UWP or SL) by VS2015 -> Working.
If you change another device or re-connect you must close VS2015, re-launch and do again!
Finally managed to find a solution to this illusive bug.
It seems that if I didn't have the Windows Phone 8.1 Tools installed I couldn't build to an ARM device (not even Windows 10 Mobile).
So my step to solve this was:
Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Microsoft Visual Studio ... 2015 -> Modify. And then select the Windows Phone 8.1 Tools.
Pretty pissed that one can't get a reasonable error message when things like this is missing.
I had this issue after updating my device to win10 ver:10.0.10581.0. I tried many things but finally after installing latest sdk and emulators i got it working. You may try installing from this page sdk and emulator:
https://dev.windows.com/en-us/downloads/windows-10-developer-preview
Somehow the new emulators were not visible in vs, they got visible after few restarts and then on device debugging started to work.
But one problem still remain from me that vs crashes after ending debug session with device.
desktop-->my computer--> right click--> management--> service--> start the service Windows Phone IP over USB Transport (IpOverUsbSvc) although maybe the starttype is set as automatic
Seems like there are many issues causing the same error message.
This one worked for me Windows Phone deploy Issue
Essentially you need to remove/uninstall the device from Windows. Then after unplugging and plugging back in, the device and drivers are reinstalled.
I tried many of the suggested solutions to no avail.
After changing the USB-C cable from a USB 3.1 port to a USB 2.0 port on my computer, the error goes away. YMMV
I see it is quite an old post...but I still get this problem. In my case, this happened after I deployed to a second phone I had for testing. After that, VS 2017 now only wants to deploy to that phone and not to the other phone no more. If I start another project, the other phone is recognized and deployable to (listed as device under debug).
Restarting system fixes this...
Also, if I add another project as reference (like a background task) to my project, I will loose the ability to select the devices and emulators under debug. VS 2017 simply then seems to deploy to the last device selected...(really no clue what this is). I have not been able to get the selection of emulators and devices back yet on this one. I only will have the "Start" and "Download new emulators" options. I think this has to do with the fact that VS maybe doesn't know the type (like arm/86/64) of the reference project because it is not set (not needed as this defies the purpose of referencing a project for dynamic references and not the compiled device specific file...)
Hope it helps someone ....
I uninstalled the existing version of the app in device and re-ran it and it worked for me
I got that error for a really simple reason...just opened a new solution I downloaded from GitHub, pressed F5, and got it!
I had left my build configuration in the default "Debug - ARM" setting, when I changed to "Debug - x64" it worked fine!
(Just adding another reason for completeness, not likely to affect your case!)
In case it's helpful for others... I got: DEP6701 bootstrapping failed ... access denied.
Thanks to comments here, I only dev-locked then dev-unlocked my phone (was originally dev-unlocked). Totally works now (took some time installing missing frameworks at first). All good.
Thanks
One more thing could be tried.
Uninstall the existing app if any and then deploy from Visual Studio.
Try on another usb port. It worked

Can't debug native Android apps in Genymotion via Eclipse

I've built my application as an x86 native app, and I've ran it on Genymotion. The problem occurs when I try to debug from Eclipse. In the console view, I get the age old:
gdbserver output:
run-as: exec failed for lib/gdbserver Error:No such file or directory
Verify if the application was built with NDK_DEBUG=1
It all works fine with ARM builds though. I checked that the x86 gdbserver is getting included in my .apk lib/x86/gdbserver. I've also read that the x86 versions of android include a gdbserver locally anyway, so not sure what the point of all that is.
I've been able to manually attach the included gdbserver using adb shell, and then get Eclipse to attach to it remotely using this is a starting point: How to get ndk-gdb working on Android?
It doesn't mention anything about x86 or Genymotion though. Unfortunately, it's tedious, and it's seemingly useless since it doesn't load any symbols (though that's probably because of my ignorance.)
Is there any guidance for making this setup, using Eclipse and Genymotion to debug native apps, work?
Sadly, this is due to a bug in Genymotion v2.2
It will be fixed on our next release (I work for Genymotion).
You are right, gdbserver is not deployed from the apk, and this is why it doesn't work.
You can find here a patch to apply that will fix this apk deployment bug for Genymotion KitKat devices created with Genymotion 2.2: native-debug-fix.kitkat.zip
Warning this patch is only for:
Kitkat (Android 4.4.2) devices
created with genymotion v2.2
Don't apply the patch on other devices, it will brake things.
to apply the patch, simply drag n'drop the zip file on genymotion.

"File not found" error when deploying to Windows Phone 8

I'm trying to deploy my first Windows Phone 8 app to my brand new Lumia 920, after getting everything up and running on the emulator, but I'm running into the following error during deployment:
1>------ Deploy started: Project: AudioFilteringPhone, Configuration: Debug ARM ------
1>Deploying C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\AudioFiltering\AudioFiltering\Bin\ARM\Debug\AudioFiltering_Debug_ARM.xap...

If I manually try to deploy using the Deployment tool, I get the same error. Does anyone know what the cause of this is and how to alleviate it? This happens even if I just start a new WP8 app and immediately try to deploy it, so it's something wrong with my environment, not my application configuration.
I had exactly the same problem, but solved it by simply rebooting the phone. No software updates were required.
It turns out that there were software updates that needed to be installed. If anyone knows a way to find out the names of the updates applied, I will post them here, otherwise all I can say is that I had to update to OS version 8.0.10211.204.
This also can be because of wrong USB cable or port. I have a long cable for charging which works with android devices, but doesn't with WP.
Or maybe using another USB port helped.

Windows Phone SDK 7.1 Emulator Complete Re-boot Error

I thank you all for reading this lengthy question. It's really important and I will appreciate it if you can assist me :)
The problem -------
I am have been using the Windows 7.1 SDK for about two months now. The emulator has worked without any problem so far. However, today, it began displaying this error (The saved state (Name of File).dess is corrupt. Please delete the corrupted saved state file and then retry). I had not made any significant changes to my project code, or moved any files. I had just added some Visual State animations for a button.
As it suggested, I went ahead to delete the file. I then started debugging again. However, the emulator now opened and displayed the message (Windows Phone Emulator is doing a complete OS reboot). This message was displayed for a very long time. I closed the emulator and project. Since then, I have been unable to use the emulator. I am able to code normally in Visual Studio, but I cannot test my application.
What I have tried ------
I read up on this issue and found many others who faced the same emulator issue. Following their suggestions, I have run one repair of the Windows Phone SDK 7.1. I have also tried uninstalling and then re-installing the SDK 7.1 once.
System Specifications -----
I am using Visual Studio Express 2010 for Windows Phone (Windows 7 64 bit)
I have downloaded the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 from this link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=258412
I have read that this issue might be because of some hardware incompatibility. However, I think my machine is compatible with the emulator. Here is some information.
DirectX Version: DirectX 11
8GB RAM
Driver Model: WDM 1.1
Additional Information:
I have read that installing the 'January Update' might fix this issue. I tried downloading the update from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/enus/download/details.aspx?id=23854
However, the installer said that the update is not compatible with the product/version of the product I am using.
Usually the Repair function of the WP7.1 SDK is enough to fix all the issues. It runs the generation of the saved state of the emulator again.
Please try to delete files in %ProgramData%\Microsoft\XDE folder first (make sure you backup them somewhere else.), then run the emulator. If the emulator runs with a message "Windows Phone Emulator is doing a complete OS boot," let it boot. It takes some time though. This way you will know that the emulator actually can run on your computer. This won't generate a new saved state image, but the emulator should at least load.
Next, try installing WP7.1.1 SDK update from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29233. This update also installs additional 256MB emulator image besides the original 512MB image. It also generates emulator's saved states in the process, potentially fixing the issue.
If everything fails, then try these instructions to fix the saved state of the emulator:
Uninstall WP7.1 SDK
Manually delete these folders:
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\XDE
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\XDE
Install WP7.1 SDK again.
Install WP7.1.1 SDK update: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29233.
Edit:
Btw, have you tried to reboot your computer? Once this fixed the issue for me.
Alright, I managed to solve this problem.
I reinstalled Windows and downloaded the SDK 7.1 again. The emulator works fine now!
#Paulos, thanks for helping!
I had the same problem for a long time. Try this:
Start up Visual Studio 2010, but before you start debugging, click on the tabs of all the open pages so that all the xaml pages and code behind pages can load.
I noticed it when I opened Visual Studio, but the first open page was a code behind page and not an xaml page, so when I first clicked on the tab of a xaml page, of course, it took some time to load the xaml page into the editor. However, when that and one or more open xaml pages were also loaded, the emulator started without the error message.
