I'm having some problems with WindowsPhone 7.1 Emulator on Window 8 CTP; it looks like the emulator has some dependencies from OS version.

When I attempt to deploy it in Visual Studio, I receive the following error:

Error 1 Connection failed because of invalid command-line arguments. 0 0

I know that the CTP version of Win8 is not the best os for development now, but this question is interesting for me and our user group.

Online help message:

Windows Phone Emulator has been blocked from running because it might prevent your computer from starting correctly in the future.

Your version of Windows Phone Emulator isn't compatible with this version of Windows.
