Do Monaca Build Windows Apps Work on WIndows 10? - build

I built an app in Monaca, and have successfully deployed and published it on google play and the App Store. I know I have to sign it with visual studio to publish it in the windows store, but can manually install it using powershell for development purposes. However, even though it works on android and ios, it crashes immediately after launching in Windows 10. I read over the documentation, and my question is: Is it even compatible? Everything in the documentation is either outdated or stictly for windows 8.

Yes they are compatible. I finally installed and ran it successfully.

On which Windows versions is Cloud Files API supported?

Microsoft website says about Cloud Files API (Cloud Sync Engines):
Starting in Windows 10, version 1709, Windows provides the cloud files
API.
However, OneDrive that is built using this API can run on earlier Windows versions, including Windows 8.1. I guess that I just need to install all Windows updates or need to install some windows components on Windows 8.1.
Is Cloud Files API supported on Windows 8.1?
I have tested
OneDrive on Win 8.1 x64 Version 6.3 (Build 9600)
And OneDrive on Win 10 x64 Version 1909 (Build 18363.1082)
Windows 8.1 does not support offline files in the manner Windows 10 is doing. It just synchronizes all files from the server to the client.
I have also tried calling cloud filter API - it is not supported on Windows 8.1
Unhandled exception. System.TypeLoadException: Could not find Windows Runtime type 'Windows.Storage.Provider.StorageProviderSyncRootManager'

Is it possible to compile a windows service with cygwin?

I tried to compile my C++ daemon code from linux, with cygwin. It worked but not as a windows service. It's in processes list. How can I run it as a service? Or can I compile a windows service with cygwin?
cygrunsrv is used to install and manage Cygwin-based Windows services. Once you've installed that package, complete documentation is available in the /usr/share/doc/Cygwin/cygrunsrv.README file.

Has VS 2010 SP1 changed where the .config file is picked up from in VSTO add ins?

I have an outlook 2010 add-in that has a service reference to a simple web service we have set up.
The config for the service is in the app.config file.
This add-in is deployed using windows installer into the program files folder.
This has been working without a problem until yesterday.
Yesterday I installed VS 2010 SP1 and now when the add-in tries to access the web service it has the error "Could not find default endpoint element that references contract in the ServiceModel client configuration section."
Does anyone know what has changed and what is causing this problem?
If I open the project in VS, build and then run from within VS the config is picked up fine.
Thanks
Gavin
The actual solution is more simple. There was a breaking change made to VSTO 4 sp1 in that the manifest has to be a fully qualified URI. So when building your setup project, you must prefix the path to the manifest with file:/// and everything works as you'd expect again. They didn't get the documentation and tutorial pages updated in time for the release. I'm not sure that they have been yet.
Perhaps you're hitting a problem with extensionless services after installing SP1? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2468871 - Issue 16?
I had this exact same problem. After installing Visual Studio sp1 (which installs VSTO 4 sp1), my Outlook addin could no longer find its config file for service endpoints. The only solution I've found so far is to run the VSTO setup (the new one) and choose uninstall, then run the old version that was previously installed and rebuild the setup package. If the new version is installed on the client machine, that machine will have this issue. Your setup may not detect it because typically you specify a minimum version for it to look for. I haven't found any other info about others having this problem besides yourself or anything official from MS about the problem.

Unit testing .Net CF apps on Windows Mobile 6.5.3 in Visual Studio 2008

Did anyone get that to work? I mean, unit testing .Net CF apps on Windows Mobile 6.5.3 in Visual Studio 2008.
It works great for a WM 6 Pro target, but not for a WM 6.5.3 target.
I get this error:
The test adapter ('Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.TestTypes.Unit.UnitTestAdapter,
Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.Tips.UnitTest.Adapter, Version=9.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a') required to execute this
test could not be loaded. Check that the test adapter is installed properly.
Not enough storage is available to process this command.
Yes, I can read the error text, but I don't understand the failed run.
Any clues?
For future reference: The only way I could make this problem go away turned out to be a complete reinstall of the WM 6 SDK and 6.5 DTK. Shortly after that I upgraded to Windows 7 and reinstalled VS 2008 with the 6.5.3 DTK and the shebang, and testing still works as expected.
This error means that CF 3.5 isn't installed on the target device (it's an option, not a requirement for the OEM). You can manually install it, or create a CF 3.5 app (like the app you're testing) and deploy it once to have Studio deploy the CF runtimes.
