I have installed vs-2013 and install Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 RC Windows Phone 8.1 development using this link https://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk and after that I want to install sdk 8.0 using the above link but it gets me error below:
This Product can only be installed on Windows 8 or later 64-bit Machine.
But I have already installed windows 8
Kindle suggest me, waiting for your reply.
Thanks.
The download suggests the requirement for Windows 8 (x64) as does the Introducing Windows Phone SDK 8.0 blog. See: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=42307 (Expand System Requirements) and http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2012/10/30/introducing-windows-phone-sdk-8-0.aspx

is it possible to develop an app for windows 8 and it will run on windows 8.1 normally? what about the validation in the store? and its visibility in the store for users who have windows 8.1 on their pcs?
why visual studio 2013 professional version is supported by windows 8 and not visual studio 2013 express edition for windows?
if we developp a library in windows phone 8, could we reuse it in Windows 8.1 application? (specifically its validation in the store?)
thx for ur answers
Will a Win8 app run on Win8.1?
Check this question here on SO: Migration Windows Store App based on 8.1. does it has backward compatibility with 8?
Basically, the answer is YES. But not the other way around. Windows 8.1 apps will not work on Windows 8. So the visibility in the store depends on the targeted version of the app and the version that is running. Win 8.1 users will see both and Win 8 users only see Win 8 apps.
VS2013 Express on Windows 8.1 only?
Depends on the type of VS you want. Check the Visual Studio Express page and decide which version you want. For example Express 2013 for Windows will only work on Windows 8.1, while Express 2013 for Windows Desktop will also work on Windows 8.
Windows Phone 8 to Windows 8?
Channel9 Always had interesting posts about development and for this case too. Check the page Building Apps for Both Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 Jump Start for more information about developing for both platforms.
Hope this helps! :)
According to system requirements I can install SDK only on Windows 8 machine (I need support Windows Phone 8 platform too).
I want to create build server for WP applications, so can I use Windows Server for that?
I install WP SDK on my Windows Server 2012 without any problems.
Did you have any troubles?
PS. But as I know not all CPU are compatible.
I am trying to compile a Windows Phone 8 app on Visual studio 2012 but I keep getting an error stating that I need a 64bit machine running Windows 8 pro... but I have a 64bit machine running Windows 8.
Is there a Windows 8 Pro? There is only an Win8 Pro (Upgrade) and from the MSDN Downloads there are only Win8 and Win8 Enterprise.

You need a Win8 Pro or Enterprise for Hyper-V roles. Your machine looks to be a Win8 basic edition.

You can't. Install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone - it is free
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-for-windows-phone
1) You can start emulator with following command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\8.0\xde.exe" /name "Emulator WVGA 512MB.username"
where username is your windows username.
2 & 3) You can deploy/run/delete apps using solution described in JustinAngel's answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/13429709/2087252 .
To make it work you'll need to reference following dlls from your project:
Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.Interface.dll
Microsoft.Smartdevice.Connectivity.dll
Microsoft.Smartdevice.MultiTargeting.Connectivity.dll
I know that the SDK is not finished, yet a few lucky developers have got their hands on it already, so here's my question: when you installing Windows Phone 8 SDK, did it install the SDK in Visual Studio 2010 also, or just on the 2012 edition (including 2012 Express)?
After posting my question, two different developers that had access to the SDK contacted me directly stating that there is no integration of the Windows Phone 8 SDK in Visual Studio 2010, just on the 2012 version.
No, You need Visual Studio 2012, Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise x64 + processor supporting SLAT for running Hyper-V.
You can now download the WP8 SDK here:
