Is it possible to export binaries from a non Hyper-V machine to a Hyper-V enabled one to test an app?


I am currently running a VM that has VS 2012 installed with Windows Phone Emulator 8.0 but cannot enable Hyper-V in the VM. I want to test my Windows phone app using the Emulator.

Is it possible to export the binaries to another machine that has VS 2012 and Hyper-V enabled to test the app?


Solution

  • One way is to copy the VHD attached to the VM on to the machine that has Hyper-V enabled, mount the VHD there and open/run the solution from the mounted volume.

    PS: If the VHD is on a shared storage, you do not need to copy the VHD, just turn off the VM and mount the disk from network.
