Its been a pain recently for many WP7 developers after they migrated and Windows 8 and found themselves in the trouble of being stuck with not being able to install the WP7 sdk and also if by any chance anyone succeeded they could not run the emulator.
I even know few of them who reverted back to windows 7 just for the sake of this problem. So put down the exact steps that you can follow in order to have the installation and the development for WP7 running smoothly on your new Windows 8 OS without any problems.
1. Install Visual Studio 2010 if you don't already have it installed.
2. Install Visual Studio 2010 SP1 , again if you haven't already installed it.
3. Download and install Windows Market Place Client from : http://www.xbox.com/en-US/LIVE/PC/DownloadClient
4. Download and install XNA Game Studio 4.0 from : http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=23714
5. Download and install Windows Phone SDK 7.1 from : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27570
6. Finally, download and install Windows Phone SDK 7.1.1 update from : http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29233
[P.S : Make sure you follow the above steps in the same order]

Thanks very much :)
The Windows Phone 8 SDK is out now, for those that are still reading this. It includes the 7.1 and 7.1.1 as well, and all runs within Visual Studio 2012. You can get it here:
