Unable to deploy/debug a Windows 10 Iot Core app on Raspberry PI 2


When I try to deploy from a developer machine that is on another domain the deployment fails.

Visual Studio gives me this Message: The Visual Studio 2015 Remote Debugger (MSVSMON.EXE) does not appear to be running on the remote computer. This may be because a firewall is preventing communication to the remote computer. Please see Help for assistance on configuring remote debugging.

Works fine when I deploy from a machine that is not in a domain. I've been searching the web for days now but I'm not able to find any solution yet.


Solution

  • I'm guessing you have Windows 10 IoT-Core Build 10586 on your Pi, but you don't have Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 installed. You need to use the new Universal (Unencrypted Mode) authentication method with build 10586.
