I have a desktop application created with TideSDK, I need this application to launch at windows startup, but can't find how, I mean, when the application is installed or launched by first time, I want it to setup to launch with windows startup. If someone has worked on it, it will be very helpful.
Thanks.
This is currently not a function. Please create a github todo for a feature request.

First time developing Windows Phone 8.1 Universal App.
I figured how to create the .appx file after some googling. But now I need to deploy it to multiple customer devices, didn't figure that yet. For the moment I'm trying to deploy it to my development device, but it keeps throwing this error (see attached image).
I only have the myApp_ARM.appx file on my AppPackages folder. I can't find or browse to %FOLDERID_SharedData%. I have no idea where to find this ARM_Optimized.appx file.
First, reboot your phone, make sure there is no update pending. It should let you deploy into your phone.
Second, for deploying to multiple customer devices, use Hockeyapp (hockeyapp.net) to distribute the appx or use enterprise app feature.
Its saying "The project needs to be deployed before it can be started.
Verify the project is selected to be deployed or deploy it explicitly by clicking one of the deployment commands in the Build Menu."
I have tried to explicitly deploy it from the build menu but its all in vain. Not able to understand whats wrong.
It may be caused by the fact that no devices are detected.If you try to debug on a real device, it may no be detected by your computer or VS. If you use the emulator, it may be an error with the emulator (like for example, the emulator doesn't launch, so you can't deploy on nothing).
Try removing Apache Cordova Tools Package.
Worked for me.
I have a Windows Phone 8.1 project that refers to a Windows Runtime Component, which exposes some other native projects of mine. The problem is I get a System.IO.FileNotFoundException when running it on emulator. However, if I catch the exception and check exception.FileName, it's null.
The guy here has mentioned he used ProcMon to figure out which file was missing. How do I use ProcMon to monitor file accesses made by an emulator? I tried monitoring the emulator process itself, but that didn't produce any info.
There is no way provided to run desktop apps such as ProcMon on the emulator. The linked post was able to run ProcMon on Windows, not on Windows Phone.
Your best bet is to debug the app running on the emulator. Use the unmanaged debugger so it can break in the native code, break on the first chance exception, then see where in the stack this is called from. Once you know where the problem is, you can set a break point at the beginning of the function then either step through or set a trace point to see what files are being used and what the app thinks it is doing then.
I'm developing a windows phone 8 application. I want to store app related things like configuration settings, usernames, passwords etc. inside the application. For that I'm using IsolatedStorageSettings class.
Problems:
When I clean the project and run in on the emulator, all stored values are gone.
When I close the emulator and run it again, all stored values are gone.
Can someone please explain me why is this happening and how can I store them permanently?
This is default behavior of emulator. It is like simulation in memory to test debug app. it does not persist data/app on the emulator when you close it. And when you run the project again(emulator is not running) VS will lunch the emulator and reinstall the app again. that is why you do not find previously stored data in you isolated storage.
And same is in the case of cleaning your project. Your app will be re installed on the emulator so all the previously persisted data on Isolated storage will be lost.
In your case I will recommend to use device for debugging.
Hope this helps.
I used Windows8 Release Preview and Visual Studio2012 RC to develop my windows8-style application, And I want to run my application on another machine(client).They have windows8 Release Preview on their machine . So here my question are:
Are they need to install any other software like Visual Studio2012
and .NetFramework4.5 on their machine or not?
Can anyone give me some helpful information related to client's
machine requirements to run metro app successfully?
Thank you.

You can test it with PowerShell, it may require .net framework to install and for detailed information follow the links below.

Check the Edit Section of the answer and the reference video in the another answer for your second query.
Supporting a Metro style Device App
Hope this help you explore about the metro app deployment.
You can also configure your machines to do remote debugging if you want. This is useful if your development machine is a traditional laptop or desktop but you want to debug your app running on a slate that has an accelerometer, GPS, multi touch, etc.
