I'm trying to remote debug my application on a Surface device and am having trouble. It used to work, but for some reason it's not working anymore.

This used to work so I'm not sure why it won't start up anymore. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and also tried rebooting the Surface. No luck.

1.Launch the remote debugger on the Surface
2.In the remote debugging configuration dialog check all the networks and then tap Configure remote debugging
3.Tap yes in the UAC dialog

Thanks for the report of the problem. We aren't sure quite why this happens to some people, but we understand how to work around the problem when it does. We hope to address this in a future update. In the mean time, please see the work around that I added.

Thanks,

In Visual Studio 2012:
Double-click on the Package.appmanifest file.
On the "Packaging" tab, click 'Choose Certificate'.
In the "Configure Certificate" drop down box, pick 'Create Test Certificate'.

Rebuild and deploy.

It's the same for me. I deployed a Windows Store App on my Surface Tablet but for some reason I'm not able to deploy anymore. I even resetted my tablet and so deleted all windows updates but nothing. I need to mention that I only have a temporary developer license till 28.12.2012, but for now I should work.

Please help, the issue is preventing me of developing software for the windows store.

For anyone running into the error:
    Unable to configure this computer to allow remote debugging. The parameter is incorrect.

Here is the work around:
1. If running, close the remote debugger

2. Run 'wf.msc' from the Windows start page, or from Winkey + R

2. The Windows Firewall admin tool should start. Switch to 'Inbound Rules'.

3. Find the rules with name 'Visual Studio Remote Debugging Monitor'

4. Delete these rules

5. Restart the remote debugger
