You should be able to run the emulator without creating an application, try C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Microsoft SDK \ Windows Phone \ v7.0 \ Tools \ XDE Launcher \ XdeLauncher.exe
If you now start the visual studio and make the fe Silverlight application for Windows 7. The emulator will be loaded by the debbuger application. If you stop the application in VS, the emulator should stay there. He preinstalled IE, which you can use for testing.
Remember, itβs better to test the web application on a real device.
