So I have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate installed. I installed the WP8 SDK but it installed the express edition for Windows Phone and it requires a second registration and a product key. I mean, why does that happen? I already have registered the Ultimate VS. Why do I need a second product key? I know its free, but... why?
Also, whenever I update something on VS Ultimate, I have to re-update it again on the express edition.
I mean, why all this mess? Is it just me?
I have same problem on WP7 SDK and VS 2010, i solved problem by downloading and directly installing ISO image of SDK.

I'm working on a Xamarin cross platform project. There is a Android and WinPhone 8 project yet. Everything worked fine. Now I moved to project to another PC. I'm working with Windows 8 and Visual Studio 2015 community version.
I installed the Windows Phone SDK 8 and tried to load the project in Visual Studio. The Android project is ok but on the WinPhone project there is written (unavailable) in the project explorer but the files are in the correct directory.
I also tried to install a Windows Phone 8 SDK update but I always get the message "It needs Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 to install this". I also installed Visual Studio 2013 but still get the message.
Did I miss something to install? Already tried to Repair Visual Studio 2015 but it's still the same.
Ok I solved the problem. It's so ridiculous. The SDK and Visual Studio have to be the same language. Otherwise it will not work... well played Microsoft, well played...

If I create a new UWP (Windows Universal App) and try to deploy it to any mobile emulator is fails with
"There were deployment errors. Continue?"
Investigating the output window and error list there is absolutely nothing there.
I can deploy the application when the target is Local Machine.
Hyper V has no virtual machines registered.
Any ideas?
the information you get "Hyper V has no virtual machines registered" suggest that your Hyper-V is disabled.
Try to type in coreinfo-v.exe in your cmd to find out.
Make sure that your processor supports Virtualization otherwise there is nothing you can do.:(
If you follow this link you will find quite a lot of information how to enable Hyper-V in your computer.
It's an article for Windows phone emulator 8.1 but still quite useful.

I'm going to learn to develop WP app. I installed Visual Studio 2013. VS 2013 have an option to install WP 8.0 SDK. And I knew the site (http://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us/downloadsdk) has a link to download WP 8.0 SDk. Help me about difference between them. Do I need to install them all for my purpose?
With Visual Studio 2013, there is no difference between these two methods of installing the WP8 SDK. It was added as an optional component when installing Visual Studio 2013 for convenience.
Be aware, it's not possible to develop for Windows Phone 7 (or open existing projects) with Visual Studio 2013 + WP8 SDK.
I am running Windows 8 x64 and have Visual Studio 2012 with the latest update and Visual Studio 2013 preview (latest update) installed. I also have the Windows Phone SDK for Windows Phone 8 development on Visual Studio 2012.
I have read somewhere online that there is no SDK required for Windows Phone 8 on Visual Studio 2013. But Where is the new phone project option?
Found it,
had to modify my vs2013 installation... (stupid me)
Is it an idea to leave this online for the community? (if I forget it again, and cannot find a source online lol!)
For future references, I installed the Visual Studio 2013 Professional edition where the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK apparently wasn't included in the default installation. I browsed to the Windows Phone Dev Center to download the SDK but this way doesn't integrate with Visual Studio 2013 as well - it surprisingly put Visual Studio 2012 Express edition on the PC...
The only way to be able to incorperate the Windows Phone SDK is by modifying the installation of Visual Studio 2013, just as the OP states.
If you are on Windows 7, you won't see the option to install the Windows Phone 8 SDK. It requires Windows 8 or later, 64 bit.
Just recently released an application to the Windows Store, and I'm wondering if it is possible to "downgrade" it to Windows Phone 7.1 - until Windows Phone 8 will arrive.
The real problem is with the async stuff, I've found the "Async Targeting Pack", but it requires Visual Studio 2012; however VS2012 doesn't work with the Phone SDK 7.0, 7.1.
I'm not in the mood to install old and ugly Visual Studio 2010 on my brand new Windows 8 machine :)
Does anyone know a workaround?
Windows Phone 8 has arrived and, unfortunately, it does not allow you to compile applications for Windows Phone 7.1 if the code uses async/await. You can try to port the code to Windows Phone 8 which does support async/await out of the box.
If you still want to have a WP7.1 port of your application and still use the async/await feature, you have no option other than installing VS2010 express for WP7 + async ctp 3.
Although Async Targeting Pack for Visual Studio 2012 has arrived, you cannot target WP7 projects since WP7 is Silverlight 4, and targeting pack is for Silverlight 5.
UPDATE: There is a way to compile WP7 applications on Visual Studio 2012 Express for Windows Phone by using this nifty NuGet package. However, note that it is currently in prerelease version.
Well Windows Phone 8 suppose to launch tomorrow so why do you need to Downgrade your application to Windows Phone 7.1?
This article might hold's answer to your problem.
Today you may have also seen the online launch event for Visual Studio 2012. The Windows Phone SDK 8.0 is built on top of Visual Studio 2012, and will give you the ability to build applications and games that target both Windows Phone 8 as well as Windows Phone 7.5. Windows Phone SDK 7.1 can be installed side-by-side with Visual Studio 2012 and runs on Windows 8.
