Just 2 weeks ago I received my Surface Pro 3 i7 256GB HDD, 8GB RAM 64-bit Windows 8.1 Professional (see image) enter image description here.

On this, I am trying to install the Windows 8.1 Phone Emulator but it throws an error (see attached)

enter image description here

I have Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Desktop Version 12.0.3 Update 3 installed. Hyper-V is also installed from Program & Features. Below is the coreinfo -v information as gathered

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4650U CPU @ 1.70GHz 2.30GHz
Intel64 Family 6 Model 69 Stepping 1, GenuineIntel
Microcode signature: XXXXXXXX
HYPERVISOR      -  Hypervisor is present
VMX             *  Supports Intel hardware-assisted virtualization
EPT             *  Supports Intel extended page tables (SLAT)

Can anyone guide. Appreciate!

Edit: Just to add, I have managed to install the Windows SDK for 8.1 successfully without any issues.

what version of Visual Studio are you running? – jbutler483
@jbutler483 It is mentioned in my post, seems you missed. I am using Visual Studio 2013 Express for Windows Desktop Version 12.0.3 Update 3 – Yashman Gupta

@jbutler483 Thanks I saw both the links but unfortunately it didn't work out for me that is why I posted here for guidance – Yashman Gupta
@jbutler483 I worked perfectly. It seems I messed up with the version. Would you answer it so that I can mark it as an answer – Yashman Gupta

I think you have the wrong version of Visual Studio installed. According to the Windows 8 Phone Docs:

The Windows Phone 8.1 development tools are installed with Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows with Update 2 or later and Visual Studio 2013 Update 2 or later. - Documentation

Try installing Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows instead.

Have fun creating Win8 Phone apps!!
