use Windows Phone Power Tools on codeplex to load your .xap into emulator.

This is because the emulator uses a disk image on disk to store local data such as installed applications. You need to add a parameter /creatediffdisk %path_to_the_diif_image%.vhd

. Visual Studio stores these folders C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XDE\8.1

.

My advice is to start the required emulator with Visual Studio and use any task manager like Process Explorer to copy the command line. Then you can create a shortcut.



Hope this helps :)

If you have Visual Studio installed, you can run applications (.xap, .xappx files) using the Windows Phone 8.1 Application Deployment tool.

Open it by simply knocking over "Deploy Windows Phone 8.1 Applications" in the search box (Windows-Logo + Q).
