I’ve been trying this for a few months. I had done C# .NET and the buttons/labels on XAML with the original Windows Phone 7 emulator.
The VS2010 pro version was required (a free evaluation iso download) and then the Windows Phone 7 development tools iso download.
Note that the .iso is usually a small link at the bottom of the download page.

Then they added the option to do VB.NET and I did not get that download added.
Then more recently, they released the “Mango” Windows Phone 7.1 emulator.
First, you must download the VS2010 SP1 .iso (it’s for all versions of VS2010 including the pro. ) And then you download the Windows Phone 7_1 Development Tools.
NOTE: 4 Gig of disk space was required on the Win7 partition and supposedly 3 Gig of memory (although i have 1 Gig) It takes almost 2 hours to install the VS2010 SP1 in addition to however long it takes to download the .iso
