Infragistics Windows Phone Installation on Windows Server 2008 r2
posted

Hi all,

A question about Win Phone and Win Server 2008 r2.

MS does not support the WinPhone SDK installation on Windows Server 2008 r2.

Not sure of the MS logic on this "brilliant" decision since many organizations (mine included) host build servers on Windows Server 2008 r2 machines.  However -

Not to be daunted ... I googled the way to install the SDK on the Winserver 2k8 machine.  Success ... it is now installed.

Next step ... install the WinPhone Infragistics Controls... This fails. 

The installer fails to find the installation of the SDK even though it is there.

Anyone else had this issue and worked around it?  

In the case of the MS SDK ... you merely change some flags in the installer script.  Am hoping the same for Infragistics.  Our lab uses a build server that is on a Win Server 2008 r2 platform and it is a royal pain to set up more machines

    Hello,

    The Infragistics Windows Phone installer looks for the Windows Phone SDK 7.0 registry value "Install Path" in the key at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\WindowsPhone\v7.0\Install Path.  On a 64bit machine check for the value at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\WindowsPhone\v7.0\Install Path. 

    If the registry value doesn't exist, then you could create it and have its value be the path to the Windows Phone 7.0 SDK files (example path being "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\").

    Once this key exists and is to a valid path, the Infragistics Windows Phone installation should be able to meet its prerequisite check and continue with the install.
