Bot Framework Emulator failed to run on Windows - botframework

Downloaded BotFramework-Emulator-4.11.0-windows-setup.exe from the release page 'https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-Emulator/releases'. After installation, the emulator cannot start on Windows 10 X64.
I tried it on my desktop, laptop and a VM in Azure. What could be wrong?

Unable to debug on remote android emulator with Visual Studio 2015 with Xamarin

My setup is a Macbook Pro running el Capitan and has the android sdk installed. I have a Windows 7 Pro installation running as a Parallels 11 guest with Visual Studio 2015 and the Xamarin plugin installed. Rather than running the android emulator inside the guest os, I run it the Mac host and forward ports 5037 and 5554 in the guest through an ssh tunnel to the host. The adb client in the Windows guest is able to connect to the adb server on the host. This setup works great for both Eclipse and Android Studio. I am able to debug my app on the host emulators from the Windows guest. When I use VS and Xamarin, it can see the emulators and can even start debugging but as soon as the application starts on the emulator, the app halts and the VS debugger stops. When I look at the Output window, i see 'Cannot start the debugger. Could not connect to 127.0.0.1: because the host actively refused it.' I am thinking this has something to do with the remote debugger but I can't figure out why. Any ideas what may be happening?

Windows 8.1 app packages created on windows 10 OS doesn't work on windows 8.1 OS

I'm using VS 2015 under Windows 10 OS and building a Windows 8.1 store app. When publishing my app I use x86 and x64 architecture packages and after the package has been installed using powershell on Windows 10 OS(Build 10240) it works fine but when I try to install it on Windows 8.1 app crashes before it starts.
I build and publish the the app on VS 2013 under Windows 8.1 OS and the app works fine on both 8.1 and 10 OS's.
Is there a problem with Windows 10(Build 10240)? If yes which OS build did they fixed this issue?
Please advice.

Windows App Certification Kit does not launch due to error

I am unable to launch the Windows App Certification Kit to test my Windows Phone 8.1 app on the same machine I use to develop the app (running Windows 8.1 and VS 2013 Ultimate Update 4). The error message I get is:
The UI workflow of Windows App Certification Kit is not supported on
this OS version.
I have tried to launch the kit via the command line (with administrator privileges) and via Visual Studio, but I get the same error.

Windows phone Application development

i would be developing windows phone app that would fit into windows phone 8 OS. I have a laptop which has windows 7 OS. Now the question is should i have to upgrade to windows 8 or is there a workaround?
Current Laptop - Windows 7 OS,64 bit, 4GB RAM
To run the Windows Phone 8.x SDK on your PC, you'll have to upgrade to Windows 8. If you're looking to get started with the latest 8.1 SDK, you'll need the Windows 8.1 update with Visual Studio 2013 Update 2.
To run the emulators, you'll need to have Hyper-V active on your machine as it is required. If your machine doesn't support Hyper-V, the only options are to upgrade your device or run a Virtual Machine hosted in the cloud. Microsoft Azure provide great hosting for developer VMs at a relatively cheap cost.
The other option is to buy a Windows Phone 8 device as you don't require Hyper-V to debug your applications straight to a device. At the cost of some mid-range device, you'd be better actually getting a device.
I hope that helps :)

Windows Phone 7 Dev Tools: cannot see menu for device emulator

I have installed the dev tools. I have both visual studio 2010 and Visual Studio C# Express. After install it launched VStudio, I create a windows phone app, when running it says "Error 1 Zune software is not installed. Install the latest version of Zune software."
I saw on the internet that I had to connect to emulator in tools menu except I don't have such menu. So is there something I missed ?
It sounds like you're trying to deploy to a device. In Visual Studio, next to the debug button (green arrow), there's a drop down box. Set that to Windows Phone 7 Emulator and then try running the app. This should launch the emulator instead of trying to deploy to an actual device.
