I have installed VS2012 on a windows 8 machine and surprisingly doesn't show any WPF or Silverlight option when I create a project.

Am I missing something here?! In fact, it is not the way it used to be in VS2010. I only can see it as template under Visual C# which again it is under Online.

Why is that?

  • What sort of project did you create? Or are you looking for the WPF/Silverlight project templates under the Visual C# option? – slugster Jan 04 '13 at 00:55

    Just checked - both sections are present (Windows and Silverlight if to expand the C# section). You must have installed VS Express instead of the full version. – vortexwolf Jan 04 '13 at 00:59
  • yes I did ... should I uninstall it and install the full version? I thought this free version have it. any idea? – amit kohan Jan 04 '13 at 01:39

You need to install "Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop"....it's a different edition which has restored the WPF capability.

To help decide if it's got all the capabilities you need:
