I am installing WP8 SDK from *.ISO image for Visual Studio 2012 and on the final installation step (WP8 Emulator Configuring) after about 20-30 minutes PC just freezes so I cant do anything. Image on the screen remains motionless and all I can do just turn mu PC off by unplugging the power source.
Here is my PC stats:
- AMD FX-8350 4Ghz 8core
- Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 Motherboard
- 8Gb of RAM
- GTX 460 1Gb
I had the same "issue" when I installed WP8 SDK, but actually it downloads a lot of data, so it can take up hours to finish the installation. I had to wait up to 3hrs to finish it, so don't worry, just be patient.
Here, at this Link, the size of the package is up to 1.6GB (English version).
