I have installed VS 2015 Professional installed in my system and want to install VS Emulator for Android as I need it for Xamarin Android development but the setup doesn't seem to have an option for it(below screenshots). Can someone suggest how I can go about with this?
The Visual Studio Emulator for Android is installed with Visual Studio 2015 when you select Visual C++ for Cross Platform Development features.
If you update your VS 2015 to Update 3, you can also see the option Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android:
The emulator can be launched from within Visual Studio 2015 from
Apache Cordova projects
C++ Native Activity (Android) projects
Xamarin Android projects
For Android development, you also need to install the Android SDK. And it is also suggested to create your own emulator with google service, for the emulator installed with VS, Hyper-V should be enabled, and for self-created emulator with Google service, Hyper-V should be disabled. Please refer to Windows Installation and Visual Studio Android Emulator to configure your environment for Xamarin Android development.
I am interested to port one of my windows applications so that I can distribute my app in the Microsoft Store. Target platform will
be Windows 8.1 because I am not running Windows 10.
I am using Visual Studio Community 2017. I tried to follow this guide from Microsoft
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/mt203664.aspx
to create a Windows 8.1 Store app with Visual Studio but it seems that the described functionality is not available at
Visual Studio Community 2017. Also I cannot find any related Windows Store 8.1 Project Template at Visual Studio Community 2017.
So which is the latest available Visual Studio version which supports creating Windows 8.1. Store Apps?
Regards
Michael
Windows 8.1 Store app development is not available in Visual Studio 2017. You should use Visual Studio 2015 instead.
I need to develop a windows 8.1 app, is it possible to do on a Windows 10 PC?

Yes, you can use Visual Studio 2013 or Visual Studio 2015 to create Windows (Store) 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1 apps.
Download Visual Studio Community 2013

How to use Bluestacks as an emulator when developing an app using Visual Studio or Mono
I make a window mobile application using ms visual studio 2005 professional.
Could I run this application in emulator without installing Visual
Studio?
If I run this in visual studio 2008 or 2010, is there any
difference?
You can download the Microsoft Device Emulator 3.0 -- Standalone Release here. In fact, it is the same emulator that MS starts from within Visual Studio and attaches a debugger to the emulator, so there should not be any different behavior.
