Question

I see a lot of refs to something called \'blend for visual studio\' which I understand a W8 version of blend. I have VS2012 Ultimate installed on W8 and I don\'t see any ble

Answer 1

Blend is installed as a seperate application in the VS folder.

If it's installed (see Stank's answer for details on how to do that) then double click the Blend icon in the Visual Studio install folder or in the Start menu.

Happy blending

Answer 2

It is one of the install options that you pick when you do the install (or at least it was in 2012 Professional).

You should be able to get it by going

1. Add/Remove Programmes
2. Select VS 2012 and Clicking Change
3. Click Modify in the VS installer
4. Tick the Blend for Visual Studio option
