Can't deploy BAR file to BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha Simulator

I'm trying to port my Android app to BB10 using the BB Android Runtime SDK. I've packaged the app OK and created a BAR file, but cannot get it installed on the BB 10 Dev Alpha simulator. I've tried both running the app from Eclipse using Run As->BlackBerry Android Launch, and using the BlackBerry Tablet OS Graphical Aid 'Install' option, and in both cases I get this output :

Info: Sending request: Install
Info: Action: Install
Info: File size: 1709216
Info: Installing ...
Info: Processing 1709216 bytes

In Eclipse I also get the error 'Failed to deploy project ...'. In the BB graphical aid I just get the above output in the 'Operation Output' window. From seeing other posts it seems I should be seeing further log entries such as 'Info: Progress 0%...', 'Info: Progress 50%...' etc. which I don't see. Any ideas what the problem might be?

Is your problem resloved? – Newts
Hi, no I still have the same problem, even after installing the recent BB Android Tools update v.1.5.2. I now test my app on a MacBook - the BAR file deploys every time to the OSX version of the Dev Alpha Simulator. I'd still like to get it working on Windows though. – Jonathan Wareham
I also facing same problem, I also work on Windows OS but not able to deploy BB10 simulators. – Newts

My experience is double check if the application has already existed. If yes, you have to remove/uninstall it first from the simulator (by long-click on the application's icon and click the recycle icon at the top-right).

Solved this by completely uninstalling VMPlayer and the BB10 simulator, cleaning my registry and then reinstalling. Still no idea why it wasn't working.

Have installed the brand new BB 10 Dev Simulator version 10.1 - the one that allows selecting to boot into Z10 or Q10 device, and I can now deploy my app every time on Windows. Can only assume the problem was caused by bugs in the previous simulator version.
