  • Article

As announced earlier today on the Windows Phone Developer Blog, the final version of the Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 Update has been released. The Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 Update is a patch and not a standalone product, so you must install the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 before you can install the update. Here is some information to help you get started installing and using the Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 Update:

What’s in the Window Phone SDK 7.1.1 Update:

  • A new 256 MB device emulator image.
  • An updated version of the previously shipped 512 MB emulator image.
  • Updated UI in Visual Studio that allows you to deploy, run, debug and profile your Windows Phone applications and games in the 512 MB emulator or the 256 MB emulator.
  • An updated version of the Microsoft Advertising SDK.

Changes to the Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 Update since the CTP:

  • The update now includes fixes that were not available in the CTP that allow the emulator to run correctly on Windows 8. If you install the Windows Phone SDK 7.1 on Windows 8, you may encounter an installation failure. If you do, please refer to this blog post for more information about a workaround.
  • The update now includes a go-live license. This means that applications or games created with this update can be published on the Windows Phone marketplace.
  • The update now supports all Windows Phone SDK 7.1 languages.
