1) make sure your phone isn't asleep

2) I have not been able to get this to work on xp, seems like it only works on Vista or 7, let me know if you found otherwise.

3) Make sure you have the WP7 developer tools installed

4) Make sure you are running Microsoft .net 4.0 (free download from microsoft)

5) Make sure you have the latest Zune software, and that it does recognize your phone.

6) make sure you are running it as an administrator (both chevron and tom xap installer)

7) if everything is failing install the reg edit attached to this post.

8 )try to take off "automatic time" in the site set up of WP7 and make sure the correct date is set.


Workaround for installing Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools on Windows XP:

1. Download the Windows Phone Developer Tools
2. Extract the contents of the setup package by running vm_web.exe /x and choosing a path to extract to
3. Go to the folder you extracted to in step 2 and open the file baseline.dat in notepad
4. Look for the section named [gencomp7788]
5. Change the value InstallOnLHS from 1 to 0
6. Change the value InstallOnWinXP from 1 to 0
7. Save and close baseline.dat
8. Run setup.exe /web from the folder you extracted to in step 2

I see only "vm_web.exe" file, w/ no "/x" and the same for "setup.exe" is it ok?
