Windows Phone 8 sdk installs only wp7 emulator

Question

I installed wp8 sdk. I've never use It yet but It seems to be working. When I try to launch the emulator I see only wp7 emulator and not wp8. Why?

Answer 1

Ok I solve the problem. I downloaded again and installed the SDK. I got a compatibility issue, but this time I could see all wp emulators. The problem was that my copy of windows 8.1 was not updated and for the SDK I was still using dev preview of windows 8.1. I updated windows and the sdk, and now all works fine :)

Answer 2

You don't have slat compatible system. Gen 3 iCore proc or later

you don't have to take my word for it (though I did have WP8 installed on Core 2 Duo device that wasn't SLAT compatible and WP8 emulator didn't show up.. only WP7)

since you both is SLAT compatible, follow this guide http://developer.nokia.com/Community/Wiki/Windows_Phone_8_SDK_on_a_Virtual_Machine_with_Working_Emulator
