Microsoft.Expression.Drawing for VS 2019

I'm in the process of migrating a .net 4.5 wpf application to .net 4.8 using Visual Studio 2019, I managed to do so successfully. But recently I opened the solution on a brand new development machine which only have VS 2019 and noticed that the solution failing to build because it can't find two DLLs;

Microsoft.Expression.Drawing     
System.Windows.Interactivity

For System.Windows.Interactivity, I'm planning to use Microsoft.Xaml.Behaviors.Wpf as advised by the SO community but I can't find anything on Microsoft.Expression.Drawing. Any help regarding would be helpful.

I had VS 2012 on my old machine which had Blend SDK which is why I didn't got these errors in the first migration.

PS: I found this nuget package, but looking for a legitimate solution.

This Nuget package - Expression.Blend.Sdk.WPF can provide references of the both mentioned DLLs,

Microsoft.Expression.Drawing
System.Windows.Interactivity

The "legitimate" solution is still to download the Blend SDK from microsoft.com.

It isn't tied to any specific Visual Studio version.

If you are using Microsoft.Expression.Drawing, you have a dependency on the Blend SDK regardless of which version of Visual Studio you are using to develop and compile your application.

There is no such thing as a "Microsoft.Expression.Drawing for VS 2019".
