title: How to install an XAP from the commandline in a windows mobile 7 standalone emulator?
body: <p>We have installed a windows phone stand alone emulator XDE.exe.</p>
  
  <p>Now we would like to install from the commandline additional windows mobile applications.</p>
  
  <p>For this we used the Smart Device Connectivity API as described in Justin Angel's blog post [1].</p>
  
  <p>This is working fine as long as we have a complete SDK installed.</p>
  
  <p>If we try to install an application on the stand alone emulator we face an error because the datastore is empty [2].</p>
  
  <p>Any idea how the stand alone emulator can be added to the datastore? Or do you know an other approach to install an XAP inside a stand alone emulator?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for a hint.</p>
  
  <p>Best Regards
  Frank</p>
