I am installing windows phone SDK 8.0 but its taking too long. From the last 3 hours its almost 25% and now not progressing further. I cancel it. Whats the problem. Is there is any issue with operating system or Visual Studio. I have following versions
Windows : Windows 8.1 Pro
Visual Studio: 2013
Thanks in advance.
The setup is big in size. It would take a little longer to download and install.
If you have cancelled and you restart the download the setup will resume from the point you have cancelled it.

I have the Windows Phone 8.1 SDK on my dev pc installed together with VS 2013 Community Update 4. I need to open some WP 8.0 projects, but I can't do that without having WP 8.0 SDK installed, give me that error:
I tryed to download the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 from Microsoft site but when I lunch the istaller give me that error:
How can I resolve that problem? If I go to the link didn't explain nothing.

The error message is self-explanatory, you need a 64bit OS (x64) but you are running a 32bit one (x86).
I think that the reason why this happens is because your VS2013 version is x86 and you downloaded the x64 version of WP8 SDK.
Try the following instead of downloading the SDK and manually installing it.
Right-Click on Start Button
Open Programs and Features.
Find Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.
Click on it and Click Change.
Select Modify.
Choose the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK from there and click Update.
I am trying to launch the emulator (Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4 inch 512 MB, or any other as a matter of fact) but it fails to launch.
It goes to the "Loading OS" screen then throws an error box with the text "DEP6100". On VS, it says at the bottom
Error1 Error : DEP6100 : The following unexpected error occurred during bootstrapping stage 'Connecting to the device': ObjectDisposedException - 0x80131622
and
Error2 Error : DEP6100 : The following unexpected error occurred during bootstrapping stage 'Connecting to the device': ObjectDisposedException - 0x80131622
Looked in the internet but haven't found an answer yet. Can you please help?
Please let me know what additional information you need.
I had the same problem on a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and Visual Studio 2013 Update 3.
Firstly, I went through all of the Microsoft requirements and suggested steps for problems found on MSDN here:
Windows Phone Emulator for Windows Phone 8
After confirming that I met the requirements and none of the possible fix suggestions fixed my problem, I tried the following, which fixed the errors I was getting with the emulator.
I fixed the problem by:
Closing Visual Studio
Going to the "Control Panel"
Selecting "Programs and Features"
Find "Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators - ENU" in the list
Click the "Change" button at the top or right-click and select "Change"
On the "Visual Studio" window that appears; select "Repair"
Wait for the process to complete, and re-open Visual Studio
Run the emulator again and it works this time!
You may have to restart your PC if you left Visual Studio open in order for the changes to take effect. Good luck!
I had same problem . first i fixed it with:
Updating windows
Uninstall / install Windows Phone SDK 8
Remove and add Hyper-v again ( maybe it is not necessary )
But problem came back and instead of previous solution i fixed the issue with :
going to windows firewall and then click on "restore defaults"
Installing McAfee seemed to block out my emulator... I uninstalled it and restored default firewall settings and it's working for now...
Make sure your processor supports the necessary requirements for running the emulators. After a few hours of trying I finally checked on...and the processor I have doesn't support at least one of the requirements.
Run coreinfo -v - available here - you're looking for an * next to EPT (on Intel) or NPT (on AMD). If it shows a - then you need a different processor. Good luck!
For Windows 10 Emulators 10.0.1.0 (1081p 2gb)
You should Delete all (VHD and AVHD) files in:
C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XDE\10.0.1.0\
All will be recreated when the emulator wil restart. Replace MyUserName by you user name.
Should work for other emulator.
See you :)
I had your same problem and after many attempts resolved it this way:
Deactivate Hyper-V (and restart computer);
Go in the Device Manager and open the Network Adapters, here uninstall everything with the name "Hyper-V...", this will allow us to reactivate Hyper-V without any conflict;
Enable Hyper-V (and restart computer);
Finally launch the emulator (if it is the first time you launch it you will have to wait 5-10 minutes, so be patient and wait for it to load all apps it need).
I just installed Visual Studio 2013 on my machine (which runs Windows 8.1 Enterprise Build 9600). I checked to include the Windows Phone 8 SDK option during install.
Once complete, I launched VS and tried a new Windows Phone App project.
Created and built fine. However. when I tried to run on the emulator, I get the error:
Xap packaging failed. Cannot access a closed Stream.
... and ...
Could not find file 'c:\users\wade\documents\visual studio 2013\Projects\DataBoundApp1\DataBoundApp1\obj\Debug\XapCacheFile.xml'. Please rebuild the solution and try again.
Tried a clean and rebuild but still occurs. Also happens with the data bound app project.
So, I tried installing some of the SDK updates found here: http://developer.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk. All installed without a problem; however, when I tried again I got the same error.
Note: the emulator starts and runs just fine. The problem is creating the phone package and deploying to the emulator.
I'm not sure how to fix. Anyone have this issue?
UPDATE:
I have tried reinstalling the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK and all the updates. I should note that I also have VS 2012 installed and I also cannot create a Windows Phone 8 app in VS2012.
Here's an image of the WP8 stuff installed:
I resolved this issue by downloading the full Windows Phone 8.0 SDK ISO and installing (followed by a repair on the two updates).
I wish I could better explain how my machine got into this state. My suspicion is it's because I already had VS2012 installed on the machine and VS got into a confused state.
Total time spent? 4-5 hours.
On my laptop I have installed Win 7 and VS 2012.But I need to get ready for the Microsoft exam for the "windows store apps using HTML 5, css and javascript". So my idea is to install Win 8.1 and VS 2013 trial versions for get hands on practice for above exams.So my question is can I install Win 8.1 and VS 2013 trial versions on my Laptop without removing the current Win 7 and VS 2012 (Maybe a virtual machine or something like that)?If you know how to achieve above goal please let me know.
In short my whole idea is to get practice for developing Win 8 apps for mobile. If you have other suggestions without installing the above software, please let me know also.
Windows Phone App Development requires Hyper-V & SLAT to run the emulator. That requires your host OS to be at least Windows 8 or better. On a virtual machine you will be able to develop apps, but you won't be able to run them on the emulator.
You can run Visual Studio 2012 and 2013 side by side, but then you would have to upgrade the host machine to Windows 8 Pro.
When both your laptop and your virtualization software support the required CPU features, it is also possible to run the emulator on top of Windows 7.
For more information see this link on the Nokia Developer Portal (Thanks for adding that GSerg!)
General answer (jessehouwing's answer is more accurate):
If your notebook has enough main memory, CPU power, etc. and the CPU ideally supports certain virtualization features, then you should be able to install Windows 8 inside a virtual machine.
To give you an idea how simple this could be, here's an example:
install VirtualBox
start it and set up a virtual machine with the proper CPU and OS settings
define a virtual hard disk that's large enough (this will end up being a file inside your current OS, no need to repartition your real hard disk drive)
get your Windows installation medium ready (a CD or ISO file will do)
point your VM's virtual CD drive to that installation medium
start the virtual machine and install Windows inside it
I have Visual Studio 2012 Pro and Windows 8 Pro. I went to install the Windows 8 SDK, and it installed fine on one of my computers, on which I installed the SDK before installing the Visual Studio 2012 Update 1. But on my second computer, where I installed the Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 before the SDK, I got the following error: KB2744908 Element not found.
Not sure if I would worry about this, or not.
I've attached a screenshot, so you can see the issue. Thanks!
It seems to have fixed itself. After rebooting and allowing the installer to finish after reboot, the SDK works fine. I have successfully created, edited, built, and deployed an application (albeit it was very simple) using the SDK.
