Windows Phone SDK installation problems

Generally programmers of windows apps faces problem while installing sdk 8.0, one of the major problem I would like to discuss with you. Most of the time we encounter following problem “Windows Phone 8 SDK: A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file in other word we generally see  windows Software Development Kit Tools for Windows Store . A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file”.


There are two solution of this problem:

A)    By changing local time.  Details are as follows:

Set the computer's date to 16 July 2013 or earlier, run installation, then update the date

to the present

     1.      Right click date and time in lower right corner of screen.

2.      Select Adjust Date/Time

3.      Click the Change Date and Time button.

4.      Select 16 July 2013 on the calendar.

5.      Click OK.

6.      Click OK.

7.      Run the installer again.

When installation is complete, use steps 1 through 6 to set the date to the current one.

B)    By downloading small (.msi) file generally 344KB to fix this issue.

1) Uninstall the partially installed Windows Phone SDK 8.0 if it currently installed on your computer.

2) Download the .msi and .cab files from the following 4 locations and save them to the same folder on your computer:
