App deployment failed in VS 2012 express edition for windows 8 - windows-8

I'm trying to run a windows 8 sample app on Visual studio 2012 express edition for windows 8.
I used web installer for VS and using windows 8 release preview build 8400.
I get this message even the app build is sucessful:
Error : DEP0800 : The required framework "F:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v8.0\ExtensionSDKs\Microsoft.WinJS.1.0\1.0\Microsoft.WinJS.1.0.appx" failed to install.
Windows cannot install package Microsoft.WinJS.1.0 because this package requires a higher Windows version. The package requested Windows version 6.2 with AppModel version 1, while the current Windows version is 6.2 with AppModel version 0. App4
Any help?

The Visual Studio 2012 released version (downloads here) will work only with the RTM version of Windows 8, which is generally available on Oct. 26th, but a 90-day trial is available now.
The Windows 8 Release Preview is only compatible with Visual Studio 2012 RC, which I thought would be available until Windows 8 GA, but the link I had for it appears to now be broken. You might be able to find a cached copy somewhere.

Error: loading ... \sapjvm_8_jre\bin\server\jvm.dll when starting xs client of HANA Express 2.0

Trying to starting XS Client of SAP HANA Express Edition 2.0 SPS01 in the command prompt on Windows 10 machine did results in following error message:
...\xsclient\bin>xs
Error: loading ......\sapjvm_8_jre\bin\server\jvm.dll
As this was a blank new windows 10 (64bit) machine with not much installed, the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x64) is missed. This can be download and installed directly from Microsoft: C++ Redistributable Package (x64)
I had the same error, but a different solution. My version was 119. Download+install an older version. Version 85 worked for me for example. If you are on HANA 2.0, you can download it on service.sap.com ->Download Software and search for 'XS Runtime 1'.

Building Windows 8 store apps in Visual Studio 2015

I recently migrated from Windows 8 / VS2013 to Windows 10 / VS2015. After doing so I can no longer build Windows 8 store apps - I'm forced to upgrade to Windows 8.1 if I want to build the project.
However, I maintain two builds of my app - one for Windows 8 and one for 8.1. I have a number of customers who refuse to update to 8.1 (No, I have no idea why) and I don't want to leave them with an outdated version. I've already upgraded the project to 8.1 and keep that separate.
Is there any way to build a Windows 8.0 app in Visual Studio 2015, without the forced upgrade?
Visual Studio 2015 does not support building Windows 8 Store apps. As you indicated it will only migrate them to 8.1. You must use VS2013 to maintain Windows 8 Store apps and you can only use VS 2012 to create any new ones.
This is covered in the Visual Studio 2015 compatibility support page.

Windows Phone development tools

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

Installing Windows SDK .net 4.5 in a Windows 2008 server

I was trying to install Windows SDK which supports .NET 4.5 in a Windows 2008 server. But I couldn't find any link for the same. All I could find was this:
Windows SDK for Windows Server 2008 and .NET Framework 3.5
Can't we install SDK which supports .NET 4.5 in a Windows 2008 server, do I have to upgrade to Windows 2012 server? I could see that .NET 4.5 framework supports Windows 2008 server but not sure about the SDK. The reason I am looking for this is because, I am trying to install an assembly using GACUTIL, but when I install Windows SDK and try running GACUTIL, it states that the version is different.
Any ideas?
Got it. I was installing wrong SDK, I was installing SDK for 7.1, I should actually install SDK for 8.1. Silly mistake.

Windows Phone 8 SDK running in Visual Studio 2010

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:
