Visual Studio Build for windowsphone error : (XapDeployCmd.exe) didn't found

Question

I build and emulate my cordova app in android device and VisualStudio Android Emulator successfully in Visual Studio.

But when I try to build and deploy my app to windowsphone device I got this error that said the file "XapDeployCmd.exe" does not in %PATH%

ERROR: Error executing ""XapDeployCmd" /enumeratedevices": '"XapDeployCmd"' is not recognized as an internal or external command, WARNING: XapDeploy tool (XapDeployCmd.exe) didn't found. Assume that it's in %PATH% and deploy fails.

When I referred to the path that I must find the file "XapDeployCmd.exe" in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v8.0\Tools\XAP Deployment" I saw there is one file there: "XapDeploy.exe" and "XapDeployCmd.exe" is not there

so where is "XapDeployCmd.exe" ?
I'm using Visual Studio 2015 Community With Update 3 and I installed Windows Phone SDK 8.0

Answer 1

As I stated before، I had installed Windows Phone SDK 8.0 . with installing Windows Phone SDK 8.0 , Visual Studio 2012 will be installed.

But the file "XapDeployCmd.exe" is not with this version of visual studio. Installing Update 5 (update 2 or later) of visual studio 2012 will install "XapDeployCmd.exe" with itself. Visual Studio 2012 Iso and problem will be solved.

after solving this problem if you encounter with error like 'Exception from HRESULT: 0x89721800' , refer to this article

Tools for Apache Cordova only supports deploying to Windows devices 8.1.

To deploy to Windows 8, you need Visual Studio 2013 which has a completely different project structure, and I don't recommend using it.

Most users who are on a version of Windows 8 tend to be on version 8.1
