Not possible to run "Windows Phone Emulator" in vmware.

Because the emulator itself is also a VM, this will not work.

See this link on StackOverflow.

Programmatically change the 'ProductName', 'ProductCode', 'UpgradeCode' and 'ShortCut' depending on build Configuration.

Use the following to update the 'ProductName', 'ProductCode', 'UpgradeCode' and 'ShortCut' in a MSI setup after it has been build in vs2005:

  1. Select the "Setup Project" in vs2005 and press F4.
  2. Change the "PostBuildEvent" to
    wscript "$(ProjectDir)UpdateMSI.vbs" "$(BuiltOuputPath)" "$(ProjectDir)" $(Configuration).
  3. Place the UpdateMSI.vbs file in "$(ProjectDir)". This file can be found here.
