i'm having an error while installing silverlight 5 toolkit saying that "This installation package couldn't be opened contact the application vendor to verify that is a valid windows installer package"
Try uninstalling the current Silverlight version and follow the steps here, which provides a work around for this issue. Or else try doing a cleanup a broken `Silverlight. installation.

Trying to install a WP8.1 App in a new Windows Phone Mobile 10 we are getting this error (We are using the "Windows Phone Application Deployment (8.1)" App):
Error - The provided package is already installed, and reinstallation
of the package was blocked. Check the AppXDeployment-Server event log
for details.
First, the app is not installed. We have verified twice.
Second, what is the AppXDeployment-Server and where I can find the log?
Thanks
The solution was as simple as update the Windows Phone OS to the latest version.
After that we can install WP8.1 Apps in Windows Phone Mobile.
First, the app is not installed. We have verified twice.
This error usually occurs when installing a package which is not bitwise identical to the package that is already installed. Therefore, if a package is rebuilt or resigned, it’s no longer bitwise identical to the previously installed package.
To fix it, you can increase your app’s version number, then rebuild and resign the package or remove the old package for every user on the system before installing the new one.
Besides, you mean the app is not installed before? That way you should use Windows Phone Application Deployment to install the package in default (C:) but not on the device SD card. If you want to install it on SD card, you should use Visual Studio to deploy your app.
Second, what is the AppXDeployment-Server and where I can find the log?
The AppXDeployment-Server provide more info to help you diagnose the cause of the error code.
You can follow steps below to access the event log:
• Run eventvwr.msc.
• Go to Event Viewer (Local) > Applications and Services Logs > Microsoft > Windows.
• The first log to check is AppxPackagingOM > Microsoft-Windows-AppxPackaging/Operational.
• Deployment-related errors are recorded in AppXDeployment-Server > Microsoft-Windows-AppXDeploymentServer/Operational.
Also, another option is to use PowerShell, try following command:
Get-Appxlog|Out-GridView

I have the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK on my dev pc installed together with VS 2013 Community Update 4. I need to open some WP 8.0 projects, but I can't do that without having WP 8.0 SDK installed, give me that error:
I tryed to download the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 from Microsoft site but when I lunch the istaller give me that error:
How can I resolve that problem? If I go to the link didn't explain nothing.
Regards,
Roberto
The error message is self-explanatory, you need a 64bit OS (x64) but you are running a 32bit one (x86).
I think that the reason why this happens is because your VS2013 version is x86 and you downloaded the x64 version of WP8 SDK.
Try the following instead of downloading the SDK and manually installing it.
Right-Click on Start Button
Open Programs and Features.
Find Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.
Click on it and Click Change.
Select Modify.
Choose the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK from there and click Update.
This is what exactly is did:
Installed windows phone 8.0 SDK.
Installed windows phone 8.1 SDK(By first installing VS 2013 professional edition and later installing update R2).
After that 8.1 application xap deployment is failing
Unable to deploy xap on windows 8.1 phone using 8.1 deployment tool “Error-package failed updates, dependency or conflict validation”
The phone i am using is 8.1 updated
Can you please let me know if iam missing something?
Thanks in advance
Using Windows Phone Application Deployment (8.1), I just ran into same issue. I had tried to install an appx package which was built for Store in Release Mode.
I then realised I was trying to install an ARM build onto the emulator which needs an x86 build to run.
So instead I deployed the ARM Release Mode .appx to a physical device so I could test what I needed to test.
Hope this helps!
Not a real answer but an un-explained work around. I've recently started developing against windows phone. I am working on a Windows 8.1 machine that was previously a Windows 8 machine, previously using VS 2012 to develop against WP 8 and now using VS 2013 to develop for WP 8.1.
At intervals I start to receive the same error as reported by the question, both when deploying our WP 8.1 app to an emulator and when trying to run or debug our WP 8.1 unit tests. So far it's been resolved each time by restarting VS 2013 (and the emulator). Restarting the emulator alone has sometimes been sufficient but not always. I have not checked whether it works against a concrete device. More significantly I have no idea why deployment breaks or stopping/starting resolves it...
Our application and unit tests are WP 8.1 silver light projects and use SQLite.
I just installed Visual Studio 2013 on my machine (which runs Windows 8.1 Enterprise Build 9600). I checked to include the Windows Phone 8 SDK option during install.
Once complete, I launched VS and tried a new Windows Phone App project.
Created and built fine. However. when I tried to run on the emulator, I get the error:
Xap packaging failed. Cannot access a closed Stream.
... and ...
Could not find file 'c:\users\wade\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\DataBoundApp1\DataBoundApp1\obj\Debug\XapCacheFile.xml'. Please rebuild the solution and try again.
Tried a clean and rebuild but still occurs. Also happens with the data bound app project.
So, I tried installing some of the SDK updates found here: http://developer.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk. All installed without a problem; however, when I tried again I got the same error.
Note: the emulator starts and runs just fine. The problem is creating the phone package and deploying to the emulator.
I'm not sure how to fix. Anyone have this issue?
UPDATE:
I have tried reinstalling the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK and all the updates. I should note that I also have VS 2012 installed and I also cannot create a Windows Phone 8 app in VS2012.
Here's an image of the WP8 stuff installed:
I resolved this issue by downloading the full Windows Phone 8.0 SDK ISO and installing (followed by a repair on the two updates).
I wish I could better explain how my machine got into this state. My suspicion is it's because I already had VS2012 installed on the machine and VS got into a confused state.
Total time spent? 4-5 hours.
I am a bit confused the link to use to install ejabberd on my windows XP box [http://www.ejabberd.im] ? What are the steps involved and dependencies there off?
=====UPDATE=====
I installed ejabberd windows version from link as mentioned in reply thread - but when I started the app it stated:
Starting ejabberd...
./ejabberdctl: e:\bin\erl.exe: can't execute: (14001) Error 14001
There is a problem starting Erlang.
If the error you see is 14001, you need to install:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 SP1 Redistributable Package
You can download that installer from www.microsoft.com
You can also check the ejabberd Administrator Guide
But even after downloading the package http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=5638 and successfully installing I still get the same error?
Please let me know how to resolve the same?
You could install 2.1.11 using the installer provided by Process-One here. Windows installer for 2.1.13 is not there yet.
no additional dependencies are required as ejabberd installer includes a build of Erlang runtime.
But really I fail to see what's the problem with putting up a cheap box running some free OS (I'd personally recommend Debian) where ejabberd would be installable via the OS's package manager, and will be upgraded along with the rest of the OS when the next release comes out.
