How to load any XAP file with the Windows Phone 7 emulator

Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to load a windows phone 7 XAP file into the emulator without the solution or source files? In other words, can I send somebody just a XAP file

Answer 1

In the current CTP, XAPs can only be deployed from a project. So the only way of sharing your application with someone else, is to share the source.
