How to start xde.exe using cmd and pass vm_name as a parameter to the command?

Question

I start xde.exe ( windows phone emulator ) using the following command " AnycpuStart xde.exe ". But it starts the emulator with default name " Default windows phone emulator". But I wish to start a different emulator, Say " Lumia 720 ". How will I pass the virtual machine name (vm_name is found from hyper v manager) as a parameter to the command. Like " AnyCpuStart xde.exe Lumia 720". Below image might help. It is a help window that pops up when i type the command. Or please tell me how to start a virtual machine listed in Hyper-V manager using cmd.

Answer 1

found solution.

Got to CMD Change directory (cd) to path of xde.exe Pass name parameter in this format : " xde.exe -name vm_name " The virtual machine name should not have spaces. Virtual machine names can be found in hyper-v manager.
