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!

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.)

You need to get Visual Studio Express for Windows Desktop (or a paid SKU) to develop WPF applications.

This version is for Desktop apps.
