What are the pre-requisite for Xamarin test recorder in Windows? - xamarin-test-cloud

Currently my system has Windows 8.1, and Visual Studio 2015. Can I install xamarin test recorder in Windows desktop or not? If yes then what else I need to install Xamarin test recorder? And, process for the same. I have referred some other solutions too but not getting correct solution yet. Please guide me to install xamarin test recorder. Thank you.

Currently Xamarin Test Recorder is available for Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise. There will be an update released soon that will make it available for Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate as well.

How to add WPF to Visual Studio 2012?

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.)

No WPF/Silverlight in VS2012?

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.

Silverlight Toolkit not available after the installation of Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate

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

Alternative IDE for Silverlight

I want to play around with silverlight without having to buy a Visual Studio 2008 license.
I already used my trial time with Visual Studio, so I'm trying to find another solution.
Any thing out there?
Thanks
Visual Web Developer Express SP1 is supported with RC0 and later. Install it first, then install the tools.
What I heard, you can use VS Express SP1 with Silverlight.
Use Eclipse
Eclipse tools for Microsoft Silverlight check out http://www.eclipse4sl.org/
