Adding Windows Phone 8 SDK to Visual Studio 2012

Question

I'm on a really bad internet connection, and I have Windows Phone 8 SDK files, but no the install file. Is there a way to add Windows 8 SDK to Visual Studio, without downloading the install file?

Answer 1

Not sure, what you mean? You need either existing Visual Studio 2012 installation + you have to install WP8 SDK which expands the Visual Studio, or you can only download the SDK, install it and use the Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone.
Either way you have to download the SDK, either online installation file here:

Or complete offline installation ISO here:
