I wanted to create WPF project using visual studio 2022. I am not able to find the project template. What package should I use?
Installing .NET desktop development worked for me.

Is it possible to develop an XBAP application with Visual Studio 2019 ? The project template is not shown when creating a new project.

I have a Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Desktop project. I have added MVVMLight via Nuget.
However, I don't have the MVVVMLight snippets installed such as "mvvminpc" etc....
How can I install the MVVMLight snippets?
If I understand well, you are working using WPF, you may have installed just the libraries-only version, try to install the full package or download the VSIX file from CodePlex http://mvvmlight.codeplex.com/downloads/get/763723.
Update :
MvvmLight code snippets do exist on Express editions of Visual Studio, but sometimes you may encounter some issues, here are the full snippets to download.
I have downloaded and installed Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone. Is there a way to be able to code WPF apps for Windows too? Can I upgrade Visual Studio, because at the moment I can only create windows phone apps. Haven't found anything on the web.
Thanks in advance!
You need to get Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop (or a paid SKU) to develop WPF applications.

This version is for Desktop apps.
Did you install "Express for Windows Phone"? Perhaps try "Express for Windows Desktop"?

(must admit I've not tried express in a while, but it looks like they are different installers. I've always found Visual Studio works well side-by-side with different versions these days, so I imagine you can install both.)
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?
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:

I have installed Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, I customized my installation(I stripped-down C++,J# because I didn't need it)..After the installation the SilverLight did not appear in the installed templates. Do I have to install SilverLight tools separately? Doesn't the VS 2010 Ultimate come bundled with silverlight tools?
I think you missed some option during customize installation, its come with Visual Studio 2010.
You can install separately silverlight tools also.
Probably you've missed something, I don't remember excluding silverlight toolkit during the installation. But my customized installation was successful.
Did you installed service pack 1 update for visual studio? If you didn't I would recommend you to check for Windows Updates.
In any case you can download the tools you need or for silverlight a clean install from here (silverlight get started) but the tools you need are the Silverlight 5 RC Tools for Visual Studio 2010 SP1
