*Note: The reason you need Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone is because it has an updated emulation driver, which Virtual PC will use if installed.

1) After you have downloaded both files install Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone first.

2) Once you have installed Visual Studio for Windows Phone, rename Virtual PC?s installer filename from ?setup.exe? to ?VPCSetup.exe?.
