AppFabric 1.1 for Windows server development with windows XP - appfabric

I have installed and configured AppFabric 1.1 for Windows server on a 64 bit Windows Server 2008 R2.
I want to use the caching features from my 32 bit Windows XP development machine. How do i go about installing the Cache client components onto my XP machine?. MSDN documentation suggests that XP is not supported, and at the minimum, i need Vista.
Thanks

Just try to install the Nuget package for client assemblies. You will see if it ok !

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'

Windows Phone Emulator not running on Windows 8.1 on VirtualBox on Mac Book Pro

[
My configuration is:
Mac Book Pro running Virtual Box running Windows 8.1,
There I am getting error.
I have checked in Control Panel>>Programs and Features >> Hyper-V: all the components are checked.
Also, I have checked the services (run>> services.msc) all hyper-V services are running perfectly.
Tried with Windows 10 and Windows 8.1, but no luck.
Any Help will be appreciated !
According to the suggestion given, I uninstalled Hyper-V and tried it again, I got this error "Hyper-V is not enabled"
Thanks !
Windows HyperV and Virtual Box are trying to do the same job and will conflict with each other. Since HyperV takes control on boot, you'll need to uninstall HyperV to use the emulator in Virtual Box.

Detect Silverlight OOB install from Windows

Is there a way to pragmatically detect that a Silverlight OOB application is installed on a computer from windows? (IE not the browser). Possibly a registry path, or file path that can be checked? I've got another application (nonSilverlight) that needs to open up a silverlight OOB application if it is installed or take them to the web page to install it if it is not installed. The operating system will always be winXP or win7.
I'm working on a Silverlight OOB app, and have it installed locally.
I looked at the shortcut on the desktop, and went spelunking in the registry:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\348253213.demo.net]
"DisplayName"="DemoApp" "Comments"="DemoApp on your desktop; at home,
at work or on the go." "Publisher"="demo.net"
"InstallLocation"="C:\Users\Charles\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Silverlight\OutOfBrowser\348253213.demo.net"
"NoRepair"=dword:00000001 "NoModify"=dword:00000001
"UninstallString"="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft
Silverlight\5.1.20125.0\Silverlight.Configuration.exe -uninstallApp
348253213.demo.net"
No idea how the '348253213' got cooked up, but maybe this will give you some clues for ferreting out an installed SL app...

Whether my own driver needs digital signing in Windows 7 x64

I have created driver to hook ssdt on windows 7 x64. I have one doubt whether I need to digitally sign my driver to install in kernel mode on x64 or else I need just windows drive kit to install it.
Is there any other code or commmands to install a driver in kernel mode other than the Windows Driver Kit(WDK) ?
To install a driver you can use the built-in command-line tool sc.exe. For example:
sc create MyDriver type= kernel binPath= c:\mydriver.sys
ATTENTION: You shouldn't hook SSDT on x64 because of The Patch Guard.
Yes, on 64-bit Windows you must sign your drivers.
For test and development purposes only, you can temporarily enable drivers signed with test certificate that provided in WDK by pressing F8 at boot and selecting “Disable Driver Signature Enforcement“.
However, you will have to do this manually on every boot.
There are few more methods described here, but some of these methods no longer work on Win7 SP1, and what works has so many restrictions and inconveniences, that you are effectively forced to actually sign your drivers with real certificate.
For a development machine, execute bcdedit -set TESTSIGNING ON. You will get watermarks at your desktop for this mode, don't care about them, avoid using ReadyDriver.
Create a test certificate for you, install it at your machine.
Reboot.
Now it's just a matter of test signing your drivers and installing them.
The TESTSIGNING Boot Configuration Option (Windows Drivers)
Signing Drivers during Development and Test (Windows Drivers)
You'll need the tools to test sign your drivers. From what I recall, other options became unreliable as Windows got updated. For me this was the best approach.

online build servers?

i'm a developer working with another developer geographically somewhere else, and we have to build software for mac osx 10.4 and windows xp sp2 and later. right now we each have our own laptops which do not have identical software installations on them, and we have a bunch of other nonrelated software installed.
does there exist some kind of build environment service in the cloud that lets you instantly create a win xp sp2 + mac osx 10.4 virtual machine with developer tools preinstalled that we could use as a "build server" somehow?
http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/vmimport/
We uploaded our build environments - works great.
