The error message is self-explanatory, you need a 64bit OS (x64) but you are running a 32bit one (x86).

I think that the reason why this happens is because your VS2013 version is x86 and you downloaded the x64 version of WP8 SDK.

Try the following instead of downloading the SDK and manually installing it.

  1. Right-Click on Start Button
  2. Open Programs and Features.
  3. Find Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.
  4. Click on it and Click Change.
  5. Select Modify.
  6. Choose the Windows Phone 8.0 SDK from there and click Update.
