I'm trying to use any of emulators in Visual Studio Community 2015 RC, but I can't find them.

I've already installed Developer tools for windows 10 and windows mobile emulator, no success.

Does anyone have any idea what is happening?

As Microsoft describes, you have to do the following steps to install all Windows 10 tools and the Phone Emulators during Visual Studio 2015 RC:

  • Select Custom install
  • Expand Universal Windows app development tools
  • Select Tools and Windows SDK 10.0.10069
  • Click Next to continue and follow the prompts to complete the installation

For Build 10158 there are newer emulators, which can be downloaded here.
