I have been trying to run the application with capture and photo choosers task but seems like i can't run it with zune running and i should run WPConnect.exe but i cant find it. can we download it manually? or else? help

You have to be sure to grab the tools update. I believe this will come with the tools once the Mango tools are out fully. But prior to Mango, check out this little guide:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jaimer/archive/2010/11/03/tips-for-debugging-wp7-media-apps-with-wpconnect.aspx

If you do not have the Mango (7.1) SDK installed, the location is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Tools\WPConnect\x86\WPConnect.exe
If you do have the Mango (7.1) SDK installed, the location is
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\WPConnect\x86\WPConnect.exe
And obviously if you run 64-bit Windows, the location is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.0\Tools\WPConnect\x64\WPConnect.exe
or
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\WPConnect\x64\WPConnect.exe

Where is the signtool.exe located in windows 10 SDK?

I'm searching for the latest version of sign tool. Already installed latest windows 10 SDK, but signtool.exe date did not change.
Starting from windows 10 SDK, the signtool.exe is now located here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.16299.0\x64
In this example, I used the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update SDK-Version (10.0.16299) - and 64bit edition
Be careful, additionally it may be located here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit
Update: Windows 10 Build 1809, now here C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.17763.0\x64
Update: Visual Studio 2022: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.19041.0\x64
If I do not install Windows 10 SDK, but install Visual Studio, I typically find signtool.exe in the following location:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\ClickOnce\SignTool\signtool.exe
This is a constant path that doesn't depend on the version of the Windows SDK. It's very convenient to use it in bat files or another automation stuff.
If you install the 'Windows 10 SDK' ( https://developer.microsoft.com/en-gb/windows/downloads/windows-10-sdk/ ) then it'll be at C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\x64 as somewhere static that won't change.

Visual Studio Empty Cordova Multi Device Hybrid App Build Failure [error code 8]

Having tried to follow all advices, remedies and workarounds including removing and reinstalling the Multi-Device Hybrid Apps for Visual Studio CPT1 I still can't seem to do a successful build of the included "Blank App (Apache Cordova)" project.
Build ends consistently in one single error:

Your kind help is very much appreciated, Thanks Ian
I just ran into this on one of my PCs and here's how I got it fixed:
Quit Visual Studio
Open the Android SDK manager by typing the Windows key and then "SDK manager", hit enter
Install Android Build Tools Rev 19 by checking the box next to it and clicking Install packages
Accept the license
Open Visual Studio and your project, then run it again
Jordan (Microsoft, Multi-Device Hybrid Apps tools team)
Finally the light bulb went on for me: The problem was the install batch files not being able to locate xcopy.exe and therefore the simple remedy was to just extend the path variable with
%SystemRoot%\system32;
The build now runs without further errors.
Thanks Jordan and Ian.
I ended up doing both.
I ran the Android SDK manager to install the Android Build Tools Rev 19 as well as some other updates.
I also added "%SystemRoot%\system32;" to the PATH environment variable.
Everything running as it should.

pvk2pfx.exe - can not find

Could tell me where to find the file pvk2pfx.exe?
It is supposed to be located in <programfile>/Visual Studio 8/Common7/Tools/bin/pvk2pfx.exe, but not on my machine.
I don't seem to be able to find it online either. I tried installing the SDK, but it didn't work.
Have you checked the SDK path? The SDK path on my machine where pvk2pfx.exe is located is C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin>
pvk2pfx.exe is not related to Microsoft .NET (2.0) SDK but to C/C++ SDK so look fo in c:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\ directory.
You need to install Windows SDK https://developer.microsoft.com/pl-pl/windows/downloads/windows-sdk/ . When installing please have selected "Windows SDK for Desktop C++ x86 apps" option.
Then the pvk2pfx.exe file will be located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.22000.0\x86 .
You can also run the "Developer Powershell for VS 2022" (or the latest equivalent) and it will already know where to look.

Task could not find "AL.exe" using the SdkToolsPath

I have this problem tring to build one solution
Task could not find "AL.exe" using the SdkToolsPath "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\" or the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A". Make sure the SdkToolsPath is set and the tool exists in the correct processor specific location under the SdkToolsPath and that the Microsoft Windows SDK is installed
I know there is a similar question, but the aswer didn't work for me
In the same computer a can build other solutions in Net 4 without any problem, so don't understand
I'm using:
Windows XP Professional SP3
Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
Easiest thing to do is copy al.exe
from
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.1\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\
(For Windows 10 from
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6 Tools)
to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\bin\NETFX 4.0 Tools\
As I got this issue in VS2019 after a fresh install of both Windows and Visual Studio 2019 I thought it might be good to share:
Installing Microsoft.Net.Component.4.7.2.SDK from the Visual Studio installer fixed it for me!
Do you have any resource files in your project? Try to delete all of them and build your project again.
I've got exact the same error and after deleting the resource files (*.hrsx) my build worked again.
Maybe it helps.
I am using VS2019, this way works for me:
Add a system env variable TargetFrameworkSDKToolsDirectory
like this:
TargetFrameworkSDKToolsDirectory=C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v10.0A\bin\NETFX 4.6.2 Tools

signtool.exe not found in vs2008

I'm trying to publish a program in vs2008 but I get the following error,
can not publish because a project failed to build.
An error occurred while signing: signtool.exe not found.
I've been searching Google for some time now but I can't find the answer.
I can't find signtool.exe; can anyone tell me where I can get it?
signtool.exe is included with the Windows SDK, and a copy of the Windows SDK is included with VS2008.
It should be installed as %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin\signtool.exe, but it might depend on installation options.
Another route is to install the Windows SDK directly (latest version includes Win7/2008R2 support).
VS 2008 - This tool is located at,
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin
Probably you could find in any one of this location.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\bin
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\Tools\Bin
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin
