如何在Windows XP上安裝Windows Phone Developer Tools

由於需要開發Windows Embedded CE 6的程式，所以保留了一台XP的PC，但是官方的Windows Phone Developer Tools不支援Windows XP，在網上找了一個曲線救國的方法，成功在XP上安裝上Windows Phone Developer Tools。
方法如下:
   1. Download the Windows Phone Developer Tools RTM
   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

注意，如果不是使用Windows 7和Vista，注意需要為相關係統安裝相應版本的SP  
Windows XP Service Pack 3

Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2

Windows Vista Service Pack 2

Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2

Windows Server 2008 R2

 

測試發現，Emulator運行時出錯，其他工具沒有問題。我想應該是DirectX和WDDM的問題，再查一下。 畢竟不是官方支援的工具，使用時有風險。
