I was going through the getting started guide for windows phone in phonegap ( cordova )
and I completed
CordovaStarter-x.x.x.zip is a template , to start with phonegap-windows. If it is missing in your downloaded content you can create it.
Open the file lib\windows-phone\templates\standalone\CordovaSolution.sln in Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone
From the file menu, select 'Export Template...'
Choose template type 'Project template'
Give the exported template a name, ex. CordovaStarter-2.1.0 will produce CordovaStarter-2.1.0.zip
Optionally, you may add a description, icon image, and Preview image. These are what is displayed in Visual Studio in the 'New Project' dialog.-
Note: If you select ( 'Automatically import the template ... ') then you will not need to copy the .zip file over as outlined in the phonegap guide.
Press 'Finish'
:-And to set up a new project:-
Open Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone and choose New Project.
Select CordovaStarter. ( the version number will be displayed in the template description )
note: If you do not see it, you may have to select the top level 'Visual C#' to see it
Give your project a name, and select OK.
The 'www' folder contains your Cordova html/js/css and any other resources included in your app.
Hit the green play button beside the Windows Phone Emulator drop-down menu to start debugging or press F5.
