Windows Store apps on Windows Server 2012 with XenApp?

We've got asked by a vendor whether our app will be able to support multiple simultaneous users, when installed on Windows Server 2012 and accessed via XenApp.
I suppose the real question here is whether or not Windows Store apps can be run in XenApp over Windows Server 2012 at all, and if so whether there are any special requirements on the apps to support multiple simultaneous instances execution.
The app itself takes each user through a log in procedure, during which all the dynamic user-specific data is retrieved from the back-end server; no such data is stored by the app locally.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Alex

  • How to get sideload product key in order to deploy windows store app into Windows 8 pro and windows RT

    From where can i get the Windows 8 sideload product key and the process how to get it .please explain in detail .

    I was able to resolve my issue once I worked with Microsoft Professional Services.  Here are the steps needed to deploy a Windows 8 Store app for anyone else looking for help on this.
    Create your app package in Visual Studio
        https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/jj874388.aspx
    Create an app certificate using PowerShell as administrator, here is one way to do it.
        https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj835832%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
    Install the app on the device
        https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/jj835832%28v=vs.85%29.aspx
    Ensure Device has the correct GP settings
        http://blogs.technet.com/b/scd-odtsp/archive/2012/09/27/windows-8-sideloading-requirements.aspx
    Install the application on the device
        Refer to Sideload the app for user section
        https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/jj874388.aspx
    * If you run your app now you should get an error, this is because you have not installed a Sideloading Key
    And the missing piece of the puzzle What is a Sideload key and how can I get one?
    * Documentation on this is confusing so here is what I needed to know and found out
        Sideload key is a product key that is needed to be added to the device so that it can use Windows 8 apps that are not from the Store
        It is not a requirement to have the machine joined to the domain or have Windows Enterprise installed on it. In my case my target was a Windows 8.0 Pro tablet.
        You do not need Windows 8.1 to use sideloading it will work on Windows 8.0 as well
        You can purchase a key from a Third Party Distributor but you will need to know what to ask for
        Ask for a Windows 8 Sideloading Key, Sometimes referred to as a Windows 8 Embedded Sideloading product key
        They cost about $100.00 a pop but they sell them as a Volume License so the minimum you can by is 5.
        However in my case it turned out that my company had an Enterprise Sideloading License, I just needed to know who to ask and what to ask for.
        Once you get your xxxxx-xxxxx- Slideloading key from the distributor here are the steps to installing it on the device (Section 2 Step 3)
        http://blogs.msdn.com/b/micham/archive/2014/05/30/sideloading-store-apps-to-windows-8-1-devices.aspx
    Once I installed that my application worked.

    1) In Visual Studio, create an appx package (Project -> Store ->Create App packages -> Not for upload)
    2) Zip up the folder of the app package
    3) Send to target machine
    4) Unzip app package
    5) Right-click Add-AppDecPackage.ps1 -> Run with Powershell (must be an admin)
    6) Follow prompts for install
    7) Enjoy

  • Install a Windows Store App on Windows 8.1, without publish it to Windows Store (inhouse)

    Hi Microsoft,
    We have made a simple Windows Store app which we intend to use in-house, without publishing it to Windows Store.
    What are the prerequisites for the app and the machine (Windows Surface Pro with 8.1) to make this work?
    The machine will finally have no connection to internet. It will basically run standalone with the app in kiosk mode.
    It's simple enough to install the app with a developer test licence, but I seems to stop working after about 30 days.

    Hi Thomas,
    Start here:https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn613831.aspx.  This gives you a lot of information about sideloading apps.
    Basically,  If you are using Windows 8.1 Enterprise, and it is joined to a domain, you can sideload apps without a key.  If you are using Windows 8.1 Pro,  Enterprise not in a domain, or RT, you need a sideload app key.  This is a volume
    license key, and like Rob said above, it is different then the product key. 
    So, you will need to know what version of windows you are using, probably 8.1 pro or enterprise, and plan from there.  You will want to talk to a licensing person if you need to purchase the sideload activation keys. 

  • How to display the PPT, PDF, XL, DOC files with in the Windows store app?

    Hi,
    I would like to display the PPT, PDF, XL, DOC files with in the Windows store app? is there any controls provided by Microsoft to view these files with in the app?
    Or
    Any workaround to achieve the desired functionality?
    Kindly provide your inputs if any one has.
    Regards
    Prasad

    Hi Prasad,
    As I know currently there is no in-build functionality to display the PPT, XLS or DOC file directly on the Windows Store App, but you can always open these files by
    Launcher class
    However a good news is we can display PDF on Windows Store App by
    Windows.Data.Pdf class, see this for more information:

  • Run Multiple Instances of Windows Store App

    We have a desktop app which we are considering porting to Windows Store. Our app allows the user to generate orders. If the user wishes to generate several orders simultaneously, they open several instances of our app.
    Is it possible to run multiple instances of a Windows Store app on Windows 10?

    Hi,
    Another thread in MSDN forum already answered this question:

    The app is still single instance, but it can now open multiple windows by calling
    CoreApplication.CreateNewView. This is demonstrated in the

  • Login to WebApi (MVC + WebApi) with Microsoft Account from Windows Store App

    Hi
    How can I access a WebApi Controller (ASP.NET MVC+WebApi) that is secured with Microsoft Account from a Windows Store App?
    I have no idea how to login. I tried the LiveSDK but this gives me only access to OneDrive, Callender and so on.
    Could someone please point me in the right direction.
    Thanks
    Guenter

    Hi Guenter,
    To be clear, you are using Microsoft account as login and at same time you have your own REST service for other functionalities?
    Let's say if you login with LiveSDk, you should be able to get some access token, see this for more information:
    Signing users in, after that use the token to access your REST service, as I understand REST service is a kind of http request, we can use HTTPClient to request data from the address.
    I'm afraid there is no existing sample here but the only thing I found is HTTPClient sample:
    https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/HttpClient-sample-55700664, you can use POST to send your token information to the server.

  • SQL Server 2012 with SP1 on Windows 8.1 Pro

    Can I install "out-of-the-box" SQL Server 2012 with Service Pack 1 Enterprise Edition or SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition on my Windows 8.1 VM?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    SQL Server 2012 SP1 is fully supported by Windows 8.1, and there is no need to install any SQL update for the installation.
    Enterprise Edition is not supported on client operating systems like Windows 8.1 but setup won’t prevent you from installing.
    Developer Edition is fully supported on client operating systems.
    Hope this helps.

  • Windows Store App can't verify the server is trusted for your sign in address

    I am aware this is (or was) an issue for the Lync 2013 client as well, as per
    http://terenceluk.blogspot.ie/2013/04/signing-into-lync-2013-client-presents.html
    This does seem to be fixed at this stage though, because after adding lyncdiscoverinternal.SIPdomain.com the Lync 2013 client does not prompt about the certificate.
    However, the Windows Store app does prompt "Lync can't verify that the server is trusted for your sign-in address. Connect anyway?" This presumably boils down to the same issue where our Lync 2013 Frontend is lyncfrontend.internal.domain.com which
    does not match the SIPdomain.com.
    Is there a fix for this other than forcing lyncdiscoverinternal to the reverse proxy? The TrustModelData registry key only applies to the Lync 2013 full client so does not affect the Windows Store app.
    Any suggestions would be welcome.

    Hi wagenveld，
    Create the DNS records as below:
    Internal SIPdomain.com zone:
    DNS A record：
    lyncdiscoverinternal.SIPdomain.com-> sip.SIPdomain.com
    DNS A record: 
    sip.SIPdomain.com-> IP address of Front End Server
    For details, you can refer to the following blog:

  • Integrate existing VB database with windows store app

    Hi
    Can I integrate a VB Database Access 2007 with a Windows 2008 store app?
    If yes, can I have a hyperlink that retrieves a search inside this database and goes directly to a page created by this database?
    Imagine that I have an e-book with a table of contents where I have several hyperlinks for a query that shows me a specific poem and image inside a page.
    Is there a sample?
    thanks

    Hi Rui - there are no APIs that will connect to an Access database directly within a Windows Store app. You can convert the database to SQLite, or provide a web-based interface to the Access database in order to retrieve/update the data.

  • Consuming live streaming in Windows Store app with C#

    Ahmed Abd El-Karim

    Hi Ahmed,
    Real Time Messaging Protocol seems what you need, the URL could be start with "rtmp://".
    However we do not have this supported in Windows Store App, if you need this functionality, probably you may need write your own code. See more information from:

  • How to use local .sdf database in a windows store apps

    Hi,

    SDF files are used by Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition. SQL CE is not supported for Windows Store Apps/Universal Apps. Only WP Silverlight Apps can use SQL CE. You will have to switch to a different database format.
    As far as I know the only DB currently supported for local deployment with Windows Store Apps is SQLite.

  • How to use offline map for windows store app using c# and xaml

    Hi friends,
    I want to integrate offline map in my windows store app but I am not able to achieve that.
    Below is my requirement:
    When a user wants to go somewhere where she/he doesn't want to use wi-fi or mobile data but wants to use map to assist her/him to roam around. For this I want to give an option to download the map for that region/area before leaving for that place and there
    she/he can use map even in offline.
    Is it possible that I can achieve this using Bing maps?
    If yes then tell me the processes to follow.
    If no then can I achieve this using "Here" or by using any other API or by tweaking any way?
    Note: I am showing maps in case of online and user can search for directions or any places in that. I am using Bing maps for that.
    Thanks,
    S.Sandeep

    Hi Sandeepmsandy,
    There is no available code sample for this scenario. You may write your own.
    Step 1: Get pdf URL from sqlite database. Please refer to the following MSDN blog and see a code sample.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertgreen/archive/2012/11/13/using-sqlite-in-windows-store-apps.aspx. Note, you need to retarget the project to 8.1 and then get two sqlite packages from NuGet before building this sample.
    Step 2: Use some special classes to get file from serer.
    HttpWebRequest can help download small pdf files. For more information to see
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsapps/en-US/de96a61c-e089-4595-8349-612be5d23ee6/download-file-with-httpwebrequest?forum=winappswithcsharp. It’s easy for use, but if you want to download the larger or many files, it’s recommend to use
    BackgroundTransfer namespace. The classes in this namespace provide a power way to transfer files in the background. See a code sample from MSND.
