Error: Windows Phone Emulator is unable to load the application skin

I’ve been working hard to finish a Universal Application as I had to record a module for my Pluralsight course on the same topic. Unfortunately the last Visual Studio update corrupted the Windows Phone emulator and I got the error:

Error: Windows Phone Emulator is unable to load the application skin X

As always, the first thing I did was to open Hyper V and try to run the VM used to emulate the Windows Phone environment. It ran without problems.

Then I opened up the folder where the skins are located and noticed that the skin was indeed missing. O could have done a VS repair, but knowing how long that takes I asked on Twitter instead if somebody could provide the folder instead so I could grab the missing skins.

I’ve uploaded the folder here

After I copied over what was missing the emulator ran without any problems or complaints.
