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

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.
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 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.

I am trying to migrate my silverlight applications from version 3 to version 4. I've been running into this problem. when i try to install silverlight4 tools for visual studio 2010
Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Web Developer Express 2010 or Visual Phone Developer Express 2010 that matches the language version of Silverlight Tools 4 must be installed before installation of Silverlight Tools can continue. Silverlight Tools is available in other languages at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=177432.
I have installed
microsoft visual studio 2010 professional
version 10.0.30319.1.RTMRel
Microsoft .net framework
version 4.0.30319 RTMRel
please help!!!!!
Silverlight tools 4 is available in English, French, German and Japanese. You need to have downloaded the correct language version of the Silverlight Tools (note the language combobox).
If your version of Studio is installed for another language then you could try installing the English Visual Web Developer Express 2010 (it should install fine side-by-side with your standard product) then installing the Tools. I'm not sure that will get you completely to where you'd want to be as far as templates are concerned but it should get you going.
How to determine what failed
If you use the Web Platform Installer to install, it tells you in the log file what happened.
IronSpigot::Main::LogPackageNameAndVersion(): Package Name = Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio 2010
IronSpigot::Main::LogPackageNameAndVersion(): Package Version = 10.0.30319 1033
It will compare these against the values in the following two registry keys:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Setup\VS\BuildNumber\1033
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\General\UILanguage
If you have VS.NET 2010 SP1 for en-us, the first will contain '10.0.40219' and the second 1033.
The setup confusingly reports this as a language issue, but if you read carefully it is a language and version issue.
Here's how to work around the version check:
Using regedit, change the first key to 10.0.30319. Run the setup.
Using regedit, change the first key back to 10.0.40219
I recommend reapplying SP1 to be safe, but I'm not sure if it is required.
This other answer has a longer solution which is to uninstall SP1, install the tools, then reinstall SP1.
coudn't find the soulution.
however my issue resolved when i installed the same build version of Visual Studio Premium version.
How to work with silverlight 3.0 with visual studio 2008?
Which version or service packs of visual studio should be installed to work with silverlight?
I installed silverlight toolkit july 2009 release but controls are not visible in visual studio 2008 RTM i.e. installed in my PC?
Scott Guthrie has a good rundown of what you need here: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/07/10/silverlight-3-released.aspx
In short, the only thing you really need is the Microsoft Silverlight 3 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 but you might also get benefit from the Silverlight Toolkit which contains a bunch of additional controls. In terms of Visualo Studio, make sure you have SP1 installed first.
