MVVM Light in Visual Studio 2012 shows no project templates

Question

I have followed guide on http://www.galasoft.ch/mvvm/installing/ to install MVVM light on VS 2012. I've downloaded MVVM Light Toolkit V4.1 for Visual Studio 2012 from http://mvvmlight.codeplex.com/releases and after installation I cannot see any MVVM light projects when I click FILE->NEW PROJECT in VS 2012.

I choose to install binaries, templates and snippets everything by default. I have no idea what's happening.

What do I wrong? There are no errors.

My aim is to create MVVM light project with VS 2012 in C#

Answer 1

To enable project template you have to go to Start - Programs - MVVM Light - Vsix folder and run one of the files there (I think you need MvvmLight.VS2012.vsix but read their names carefully to find the one that fits your Visual Studio edition). If you don't have such folder - try to find it somewhere in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Laurent Bugnion (GalaSoft)\Mvvm Light Toolkit\Vsix"

Answer 2

I'm a bit late, but check the following path:

C:\Program Files\Laurent Bugnion (GalaSoft)\Mvvm Light Toolkit\Vsix

(Start > All Programs > MvvmLight > VSIX)

You'll find Visual Studio Extensions (vsix). Try running the VS2012.
