Our app built for WP7.1 has been removed from market place. The reason given is "Your application does not function as expected on Windows Phone 8. Usability is significantly impacted". I would like to run the app(built for 7.1) on wp8 emulator to see what is breaking. Please tell me how to install a 7.1 app on 8.0 emulator? or please guide me how to approach to find out the problem

As you already have WP8 SDK installed, its quite straightforward process.

In the same way you debugged your Windows Phone 7.1, you can do for WP8 also. Open your VS 2012 edition of WP8 SDK and go to open project and select your 7.1 project. Then you can run/debug it in WP8 emulator by pressing F5.

EDIT: You need to test for all versions of Emulator one after the other, starting with the 'Emulator WVGA'
