I have installed windows 8.1 on my macbook pro (Mavericks OS). I am trying to run a windows phone emulator on it. I am getting in the visual studio 2012 console.
1>------ Deploy started: Project: PhoneApp1, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
1>Deploying C:\Users\yyyyy\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\PhoneApp1\PhoneApp1\Bin\Debug\PhoneApp1_Debug_AnyCPU.xap...
1>Connecting to Emulator 8.0 Update 3 720P...
1>Deployment of application to device failed.
1>0x80131500
========== Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========
Can any please help me confirming that, do I need to update my version to Windows 8.1 pro so that I can run the Windows 8 phone emulator?

Found the answer to it. Need to install Windows 8.1 pro or Windows 8 pro to run the emulator as Windows 8 or Windows 8.1 does not offer the Hyper V option. Found this after browsing through Microsoft web pages. We can run the Windows phone app using a device [Windows phone 8 ] registered with Microsoft on Windows 8 or 8.1.

I had this problem, too. After installing the Visual Studio 2012 Update 4, it will be all right. Maybe you could take a look at this page, I got this solution there. Hope you can solve it also. Good luck.
