After installing the Windows Phone 8 SDK I got an error stating that hardware virtualization was not supported on my machine therefore I could not use the emulator.
Apparently there are two requirements for your machine to meet to support the Windows Phone 8 emulator:
- Support for hardware virtualization in the form of either Intel-Virtualization Technology (Intel-VT) or AMD-V (also called SVM)
- Support for Second Level Address Translation (SLAT) – see How to Check if your CPU supports SLAT – on Intel CPUs this is also called Extended Pages Tables.
This is caused by the fact that the Windows Phone 8 Emulator is using the client version of Hyper-V (which ships with Windows 8 client OS) which requires SLAT. The Hyper-V server does not.
Because I don’t have a Windows Phone 8 device on hand – I’m pretty much stuck building Windows Phone 7.1 apps.
