FAQs -

 Q - I have WP8 SDK and I installed the NuGet package, it is still installing the 7.1 version of the toolkit assembly, or I get an error – “You are trying to install this package into a project that targets 'WindowsPhone,Version=v8.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references that are compatible with that framework.”

 A – You have an older version of NuGet. Install the latest NuGet from www.NuGet.org . Close and restart all the instances of Visual Studio. Now install the package. It will install correctly. WP8 projects are supported from Nuget 2.1 onwards.
Installation

 The MSI-based installer for the toolkit has been deprecated in favor of installation via NuGet or compiling directly from source.
If you have Visual Studio 2012 installed congratulations you already have NuGet!
If you don't already have NuGet installed go to http://nuget.org and install the NuGet Visual Studio extension
Ensure you have a version of NuGet >= 2.1 for WP8 projects
Once NuGet is installed install the Windows Phone Toolkit package from http://nuget.org/packages/wptoolkit
Optionally you can download the source and compile the assembly yourself.
If you're compiling the source yourself you'll also need the Multilingual App Toolkit for Visual Studio 2012 to avoid warnings that the localized resx files are missing.
