visual studio no asp.net possibility

Question

so i just installed microsoft visual studio express 2012 for windows 8 (virtual machine) and i noticed there is no option of creating .asp files

normally, i should be able to file -> new web site, c#, empty. And then add a new web form to create an aspx file, but i dont get these options.

i only get file -> new project which creates javascript (javascript) or XAML files (visual basic, visual C#, visual C++)

i assume there is something wrong with installation. i tried installing ASP.NET from the asp.net website but doesnt change anything.

please hold in mind i am a beginner, any help is much appreciated

Answer 1

You need this one; sounds like you downloaded the WPF version http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-for-web

Answer 2

You must install the web version to do asp.net.
