Can the Windows Phone SDK be used in Windows 8?
I have installed Visual Studio 2010 Pro, and the Mango SDK, but I had two pre-existing potential problems.
1. My download of Windows 8 with tools wasn't complete and the Windows SDK did not get installed.
2. I had Hyper-V feature installed, and during the phone tools install, my computer crashed, just around the time it was installing the emulator. I removed Hyper-V feature then re-installed the phone sdk.
I am downloading another copy of the Windows 8 with tools .iso and will redo a Windows 8 install, then try again with what I have learned to see if I can get things to work. But am I wasting my time trying to get the phone tools to work in Windows 8?
Do I still need to be running Windows 7 to do Phone development? The only thing missing at the moment is to get my code to either run on the emulator or onto my Windows Phone that I have developer unlocked. The tools don't seem to see either one of those
2 devices with my current setup.
I might attempt to install within a running copy of Windows 7 inside a Hyper-V, but without USB support to connect my phone to the virtual PC, that won't work. I got it to work with Windows Server 2008 R2 using Remote FX, but I don't see any Remote FX with
Windows 8 client.
