Deploying Silverlight applications to WinPhone7 emulator without Visual Studio

As per title, I would like to deploy my application without its Visual Studio project. I would pre开发者_StackOverflowfer to place all executables/images/manifests in one directory and deploy it without needing the source or opening Visual Studio.

There is a way to do that for XNA apps, but it doesn't work for Silverlight apps for some reason. Other people had the same problem.

EDIT I know Phone Developer Tools are free and I am not trying to eliminate VS from my workflow. I just want to be able to grab the latest binary from the build server and quickly run it up in demo situations.

When you install the latest developer tools you get an application called "XAP Deployment" which can install a pre-built XAP onto either the emulator or the phone.

Visual Studio Express is free, and I think you can get a version of VS2010 now too.
