| - copy the file templates/CordovaStarter-x.x.x.zip to the folder : \My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Templates\ProjectTemplates\ |
| - if you have just installed VisualStudio, you should launch it once to create this folder |
| - if you prefer, you may add the project instead to the "Silverlight for Windows Phone" subfolder of "Visual C#". This is up to you, and only affects where the project template is shown when creating a new project. Also, You may need to create this folder. |
| - Launch Visual Studio 2010 and select to create a new project |
| - CordovaStarter should be listed as an option, give your new project a name |
| - Note: The description will let you know the version of Cordova you are targeting, if you have multiple templates. |
| - If you do not see it, you may have to select the top level 'Visual C#' to see it |
| - Build and Run it! |

| |
| Many of the Media APIs will not function as expected when debugging while connect to the device with the Zune software. |
| To get around this, you need to use the Windows Phone Connect tool. For details, please check out this [MSDN blog article](http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jaimer/archive/2010/11/03/tips-for-debugging-wp7-media-apps-with-wpconnect.aspx). |
