I am trying to install Windows Phone 7 SDK on my PC which has a Windows 7 Home Premium operating system.
I tried to install the software, but I got an error that I don't have the Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1. I installed the Service Pack but I still can't install the Windows Phone SDK. Does It have to do with the fact that my OS is "home premium"? Or is there any other reason there should be a problem?
Go here and download visual studio express 2010 for windows phone. This should be the complete package of what you need
You cant just download the SDK without visual studios

You have to use VS 2008 to address devices running on Windows Mobile 6.x

I am using Windows 7 and Visual Studio Express 2013. I have installed Windows Phone 7.1 SDK and Windows Phone 8.1 SDK. When i go to VS menu under DEBUG->Other Debug Targets->Debug Windows phone internet Explorer nothing appear under Target Device Dropdown list in order to choose emulator. Any ideas how to configure them?.
The Windows Phone 8.0 SDK include the ability to create apps for 7.1 and 8.0 so there should be no need to install the 7.1 SDK.
Developing apps for 7.x is not supported in Visual Studio 2013. If you must target 7.x devices you'll need to use VS2010 or VS2012.
If you want o build for Windows Phone 7.x you should use Visual Studio 2012. You can install this AND Visual Studio 2013 on the same machine.
Again one more thing is you can not build Windows Phone 8.1 apps on Windows 7 OS. So it is advisable to install windows 8.1 / 10 OS and install both VS2012 and VS2013.
I want to develop apps for windows phone. For this, I have installed visual studio 2010 in windows 8 machine. After that, I opened visual studio and created new project. But in silverlight option, I did not find "Windows Phone Application" template.
I searched on google and installed visual studio 2012 express for windows phone by which windows phone 8 sdk is installed. But still I am not getting "Windows Phone Application" template. So what should I do now?
To create Windows Phone 7 applications in VS2010, I believe you need to install the Windows Phone 7 SDK. Because you're running Windows 8, I recommend downloading the update for it, too, from here.
The template should be visible in VS2012, though, if you've installed the WP8 SDK, so I'm not sure why you can't see them in that.
I am new to the windows phone development, and I am struggling to get everything installed related to the windows phone development tools. I had already MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU with SP1 installed on my machine (with Windows 7 Enterprise + Windows 7 SP1). I installed the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27570), and then Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW successfully. But when I tried to open Visual Studio, it said that only a few Visual Studio components had Visual Studio SP1, and in order to open the Visual Studio I had to install the complete Visual Studio SP1. So then I reinstalled the Visual Studio SP1 and the Visual Studio started working fine.
Now I have MS Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate - ENU with SP1, Windows Phone SDK 7.1, and Windows Phone Developer Tools RTW installed on my machine, but when I try to install Windows Phone Developer Tools January 2011 Update, following error message is displayed:
"The update patch cannot be installed by the windows installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing, or the upgrade patch may update a different version of the program. Verify that the program to be upgraded exists on your computer and that you have the correct upgrade patch."
I have verified everything. Does anyone know what am I doing wrong?
Try uninstalling the developer tools completely then install dev tools rtw followed by patch and then sdk
I guess something goes wrong with your Visual Studio SP1 installation, so to uninstall all the developer tools and then doing the fresh installation would be the good Idea.
You can do the installation in this sequence..
Win 7 SP1
Visual Studio
Visual Studio SP1
WP7 developer tools
WP developer tools update
Hope it helps.
That update that is throwing an error is not required. The order of installation is detailed on this page: http://create.msdn.com/en-us/resources/downloads
You want to be installing the SDK 7.1 and then the SDK 7.1.1 update.
There's no need for you to uninstall Visual Studio here.
