Testing Windows Store Application on other machines

I want to test my windows 8 metro application on others PC such as my MS Surface or my friend's PC. but when I run it, I get following error:

This application can only run in the context of an AppContainer.

i searched a lot and found this but this topic for 2011 and VS 2011, so the solution does not work anymore.

please advice me.

The solution from the referenced thread should still work, especially point 2.

Right-clicking the project and choosing "Store"->"Create App Package..." (deselect uploading to the store) will create a folder with a package for your app and the dependencies. In the same folder there is a PowerShell script. When run, it will probably ask you to change your ExecutionPolicy the first time, but then it will install the app just like a regular app that was installed from the store.
