I am installing windows phone power tools.
I am getting emulators like emulator Windows Phone7.5, like that.
But i need a windows emulator like Emulator WXGA.
Please help me for this.
I would suggest that you un-install the SDKs, and then get the SDK for WP8 from the official site.
It has the WP7.5 support there as well, thus should work for both development purposes. Also do remember to check the Windows Phone Emulator for Windows Phone 8, do note the requirements for SLAT, DEP & that you need to have Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise 64 bit Operating System for the Hyper V to be present in there as well.

I researched a little, and I found nothing, unless the Windows Phone SDK, that couldn't install on Windows 7 operating system...
There is another way, another SDK, another language, to create Windows Phone 8 applications? For instance, can I use QT for this purpose?
Thanks in advance.
No, Windows 8 or 8.1 are required. QT generates a Visual Studio project which needs to be built with Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 8.1
If you don't want to upgrade your main system to Windows 8 you can run it in a VM, although there will be issues running the emulator so you may need a physical phone to test (depending on your computer you may need that anyway: modern computers almost all support Hyper-V, but older Windows 7 era computers are more likely not to).
You can use javascript and html5 through cordova phonegap or winjs from Microsoft.
Ok so I got windows 8.1 nextbook to test on. I created some basic browser app in visual studio running on virtual windows server 2012 r2. My main machine is windows 7. When I connect with USB cable nothing happens (who could have predicted that). I thought I could deploy my app on tablet and do a debug like that but haven't find a way to do it. Anybody here with experience in this scenario, I googled everywhere and the only thing I found is that documentation sucks
You cannot run a Windows Phone app on Windows. You need a Windows Phone or a Windows Phone emulator to run the Windows Phone app. To run on Windows you need to write a Windows Store app. Windows 8.1 on a tablet is the same as Windows 8.1 on a desktop or laptop computer.
In your case you'll probably need a physical Windows Phone since you are already running virtualized. The Windows Phone emulator is a Hyper-V image and is not supported nested in a Hyper-V guest OS.
If you write a Windows Universal app then the code will be mostly the same for the Windows and Windows Phone targets (the UI layer is usually different), so you can write and test the bulk of the app as a Windows Store app to run on your tablet and then recompile for Windows Phone.
I have been using Windows 8.1 for creating Windows Store apps. Below is output of winver command.
I have installed necessary updates to start developing universal Windows Store app using JavaScript. When I try to launch app on Windows Phone emulator, I am getting following error.
Unable to start windows phone emulator
It also suggesting to use Windows 8 pro version. Is there anyway of running this without requiring to throw more money on getting Windows 8 Pro version?
Windows Phone Emulator requires Hyper-V which needs Windows Pro version. That's probably why you aren't able to start your Emulator.
As I've posted in comment, I've heard about VirtualBox and an ability to run WP Emulator on it. Some helpful links: other question on SO, VirtualBox forum, video. I'm not sure how it will work (and if) as I haven't tried this.
IMO I would follow WiredPrairie's comment - upgrade or buy inextensive phone.
I have Windows 7 system. I need a free downloadable Windows Mobile emulator for testing my mobile webpages. I have downloaded and tried to use Cellular Emulator, which is asking for Visual Studio. Can you recommend a user-friendly Windows Mobile (version 7) emulator which does not require Visual Studio? If so, please provide the link. Thank you.
Here you can test everything on several Lumia Devices:
Remote Device Access for Nokia Lumia
Some devices you can access:
Microsoft themselves provide the best emulator (which I used extensively). It is much better than any open third-party emulator.

Note: you need to use a Windows 8 machine.
After installing Visual Studio 2012 express for Windows Phone 8 on my machine along with the SDK I notice that I do not have the option to Debug to a Windows Phone 8 Emulator ?
Any specific workaround or fixes to resolve this would be helpful?
My Bad, the PC I am using does not support Hardware Virtualization.
I installed multiple times and finally noticed this message at Launch time.
This Computer does not support hardware virtualization, which means Windows Phone Emulator 8.0 can't run on this PC.
If others run into this, here is what I found out.
My Intel Core 2 Duo T9550, don't support SLAT, which is needed to enable Hyper-V, which is again needed to run the WP8 emulator...sigh...
You can run this Coreinfo tool to see what your CPU supports. Follow the guidance here:

The Windows Phone 7.1 SDK emulator works fine on my machine btw.
The Windows Phone 8 Emulator runs in Hyper-V.
Hyper-V requires a processor that supports SLAT (Second Level Address Translation).
List of SLALT (EPT) Intel CPUs: http://ark.intel.com/Products/VirtualizationTechnology
So any Core2Duo does not Support Hyper-V :/
