当初Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools发布时,系统需求中标明:只支持Windows Vista和Windows 7。这着实让我感到不解,大多数开发人员使用的都是服务器操作系统,如Windows Server 2003(主流)、Windows Server 2008或R2,不支持服务器操作系统不是很尴尬吗,难道想让非开发人员来做Windows Phone 7的开发?
官方不支持,我们只好变通一下了,今天来谈一下Windows Server 2008 R2上安装 Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools时遇到的问题以及解决方法,希望以后有朋友遇到类似情况能少走弯路。
9.16 Windows Phone 7 Developer Tools RTM 发布了,此方法依然适用。
