Deploy a game build
Xbox PC Toolbox installs the command-line tool wdRemote.exe on your development PC and wdEndpoint on the target device. To deploy your game:
wdRemote /action:deploy /device:mypc1 /source:c:\game /destination:gamedir
This command copies your game files incrementally to the target’s game directory.
Note
The default directory is:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\GDK\wdEndpoint\gameroot\GameDir
Launch a game
After deployment, launch the game on the target device:
wdRemote /action:launch /device:mypc1 /path:gamedir\game.exe
The game starts on the target hardware.
Terminate a game
To end a game process, use the process ID from the Toolbox app:
wdRemote /action:terminate /device:mypc1 /processid:1234
