Can not install Web Essentials to VS12

Question

I can't seem to install WebEssentials. I keep getting this error, even though I get the VS icon for the VSIX extension, & have updated VS12 inside the program.

The only curveball I can think of is that I did not use the custom folder for installing VS12. TIA

Unfortunately VS Web Express doesn't allow 3rd party extensions to be installed. Therefore it only works in VS Pro, Premium and Ultimate
