You should install WPSDK 7.1 first, before installing 7.1.1 Update. Check the Instructions at the bottom of the page.

see Installing Windows Phone SDK.

Update:

I have used the SDK's 7.1 and 7.1.1 from the above link and they are working fine in Windows 8.

The error 'GetCopyToOutputDirectoryContentProjectItems' has been known to come from Silverlight, therefore I recommend you try to reinstall the Silverlight SDK on your machine.
