Windows Phone Emulator issue

Question

I'm developing a windows phone application on Visual Studio 2010, Windows 8 x86. I've setup Visual Studio to Run as an administrator. Every time I try to run the windows phone 7 application, i have also updated sdk 7.1.1 but it still gives me this error:

Windows Phone: Deployment of application to device failed. Exception from HRESULT: 0x89721800

is there any solution regarding this?

Answer 1

The Visual Studio datastore is corrupted.

Try:

1. Close all Visual Studio instances that may be currently running.
2. Delete the folder “%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Phone Tools\CoreCon\10.0”
3. Launch a new instance of Visual Studio

If your computer meets the hardware and operating system requirements, but does not meet the requirements for the Windows Phone 8 Emulator, the Windows Phone SDK 8.0 will install and run. However, the Windows Phone 8 Emulator will not function and you will not be able to deploy or test apps on the Windows Phone 8 Emulator. 

Basically, you need Win 8 64x or Win7.
