I know it is possible to do a Touch Application for Windows 7 using the Surface SDK in Visual Studio 2010. I would like to do the same thing in a Windows 8 environment but Surface is unfortunately not supported.

I do not want to build a Metro Application but I need an executable with touch support that works in Win 8. Does anyone know if it possible to do a touch exe for windows 8?

You can use the SDK on a windows 8 machine. I'm using visual studio 2010 with the sdk on my machine. You'll need to install Xna to to make it work. And in xaml, change your windowtype from surfacewindow to window.

  • Thanks for your tip :-). Do you know if the executable is going to run even in another Win 8 machine without VS 2010 installed? I can't install in any pc where the program will work Visual Studio. – user1630939 Oct 14 '13 at 08:33
  • Yes it will work. I got it even running on a windows 7 computer, but this has given us some issues in the past. Best to use it on a win8 machine. – Bjorn Vdkerckhove Oct 15 '13 at 10:23
