I have a Dell Server, and a Hyper-V virtual machine where I have my VS 2010 ultimate installation. I added the WP7.1 tools last night, and used it this morning, but the framework was giving me, when running the emulator as an administrator: MFPlat.dll is missing error. I resolved that from this post and installed windows media foundation platform, and the emulator worked but gave me a message stating “the video hardware may not support XNA development, but silverlight may work OK. Do you want to continue?” (rough translation). I understand since it’s a dell server, but I can view

I clicked OK, then shortly thereafter, the VM window disappeared, and HyperV reports the virtual machine lost connectivity. This is the second time I had this problem with a VM (tried this in the past with version 7.0 tools). Usually shutting down the machine brings it back, but I can’t get past this.

Does windows phone tools support VM’s at all?

Thanks.

    The phone tools do support VMs, but the emulator is actually an virtual instance and so causes untold issues when running inside a wrapper VM. It is not supported to run the emulator inside a VM because of these issues. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff637317(v=vs.92).aspx#BKMK_VM
