How to launch Windows Phone 8 Emulator programmatically from a desktop app?
You can find your Emulator launcher in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.0 but the real problem isnt finding the program or even launching it pragmatically. The problem is that I think it needs a XAP file or it will not launch. If you can find a way to launch it however I think the easiest way would be from a .bat file
Open notepad -type in cd Go to next line -type executable name
Save as "fileName.bat"
MAKE SURE TO INCLUDE THE QUOTATIONS WHEN YOU SAVE or it will save it as a text file and not a batch Double click it
