Windows Phone 8.1 Sdk help

I would say that you aren't running a 64-bit version of Windows, can you post a screen shot of the system properties?

Also remember that Virtualisation hardware support has to be switched on in EFI as well as Hyper-V being installed in Windows.

That's what I think, too. There's a reason it says that the missing requirement is Windows 8 x64.
 
The SDK work for me but cortana gives error :( I set the region to US but the error exist. Note: im outside US
 
Can anyone tell me what i am doing wrong?
I installed VS express 2013 (free one). Then SDK for wp8.1, then simulator. It is still not working...

Not if you are providing so little information .Thas like "I bought a car, and its not working. What am I doing wrong?"

You shouldn't need to install them separately as the download for the SDK contains everything, including Update 2 which is required for the WP8.1 SDK.

Exactly, I guess that under system type in system properties they saw "x64 based processor" and thought they had a 64-bit version of Windows, when in fact the full line reads "32-bit Operating System, x64 based processor".

I also noticed that in the post I replied to it says "my PC has all the requirements to run hyper-v", the PC may well have the requirements but if the software doesn't then it won't work.
 
So just out of curiosity... Am I able to run this on a surface pro? I've never delved into the BIOS for this thing.

I have VS 2012 with WP8.0 SDK installed, without it, none WP8.1 emulator in VS 2013 work.. at least for me.
 
Ok I have another problem, everything works except the thing that when I start the emulator it just stays forever on "Windows Phone OS is starting". It's not even frozen or anything, I can rotate the phone and interact with the emulator, but it just wont load the system. No errors or anything. Capture.PNG

How long did you wait. It takes a PAINFULLY long time. Seems to get worse with each incremental version.

As mentioned above it takes a long time to load, don't forget you are emulating the ARM processor which slows the loading process down.

give it 15 to 30 minutes.
 
So I will uninstall everything and start over. Since I never used VS, it's kind of complicated for me.
I summarize :
1- Install of visual studio express 2013 (where can I download the update 2 already?)
2- Install of wp8.1 SDK
3- Follow the indications in the 2nd post
 
Re: Windows Phone 8.1

If you just want to check out the emulator:

Open Visdual Studio. Go to File -> New Project -> Templates -> Store-Apps -> Empty App (Universal App). Give it any name and lick OK. Now you have a new project. At the top is a green arrow with Local Computer next to it. Click on the arrow which points down right to it click on start project and then the Windows Phone 8.1 part. Now the text at the arrow changes and a emulator is selected (by default the smallest version). If you want you can click the down arrow again and change the emulator. then click the green arrow and the emulator start. it takes a little bit longer the first time. it starts a virtual machine in the background. If it is powered up your app starts. you can exit out of it and explore.

tried to follow that it did not work for me..
I guess I'll uninstall it and restart
