Adding Windows Phone 8 SDK on PreInstalled Visual Studio 2012

Question

I have Visual Studio 2012 Installed previously, now I want to add the Windows Phone 8.0SDK to my visual studio 2012.

When I head on to the msdn website to get the sdk, the installer installs SDK and Visual Studio 2012 Express.

I just want the SDK on VS2012. How can I do this ?

Answer 1

The latest Windows Phone SDK should notice that you already have VS2012 and only add the required bits.

The Windows Phone SDK provides a stand-alone Visual Studio Express 2012 edition for Windows Phone or works as an add-in to Visual Studio 2012 Professional, Premium or Ultimate editions.
