It is definitely worth checking out the "Duplicator" plugin for this. I think its relatively new. Great tutorial though.

Thanks Dave! I was looking for this exact thing after moving from a Linux to the Azure host. BTW - If you add the Website from the Gallery, it sets up the Web.config for you with these settings by detault now.

Use XNA Content Compiler (http://xnacontentcompiler.c... instead of having to use VS2012.

Change the "Copy to Output Directory" to "Copy if Newer".

Right ..i found out that too.

however does that mean that x64 systems cant use the application?

i had exact same problems with monoxna, however that didnt fix anything.I believe its because the references are for debug mode.

Ha ha. It was easy. I have to use x86 instead of x64 architecture.

I am following step by step this instruction but my windows store version can't build. I get next three errors:

- Error 1 The type or namespace name 'UnityPlayer' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
- Error 2 The type or namespace name 'WinRTBridge' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
- Error 3 The type or namespace name 'AppCallbacks' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Hm.. where I have been wrong?

That plug in is no longer available. Do you know how to do this without a plug in? I have a copy of my sql database backup.

I have been using Unity for a while, and managed to port a couple of my apps to the Windows Store.

The major challenge for existing apps is porting the code from JavaScript to C#. Most of the examples and existing code base (plugin’s etc.) are JavaScript. However there is a very good and free tool called ILSpy that will examine the compiled assembly and decompile it into C#. Private variables will lose their names, some of the code will be hard to read, however it does work and in about 1-3 hours of work you should be able to port your existing Unity Android/iOS game to Windows Phone or Store. This is by far easier than writing a new game in Visual Studio.

Of course the reverse is also true, write your game in Unity for WP8 or W8 and easily (in minutes) port it over to Android iOS

With my MSDN Benefits, yes it is meant for dev/test. I was informed that using it for my blog is fine as long as I don't mind the possibility of it going down from time to time (no SLA in place) and as long as I don't use any MSDN Software, which I'm not.

Except how are you coping with the new "No Go Live" license restriction with MSDN accounts?

Re: Moving a WordPress Blog to Windows Azure, Part 1

Jason Young — Wed, 10 Jul 2013 16:07:06 -0000

The free Azure time that comes with your MSDN is only for dev/test. If "they" see you using it production, they will allegedly shut it down.
