Blend in Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate in Windows 7 - c#

I have Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate. When first installation window popped up I could see, "Visual Studio 2012 Ultimate with Blend". I chose all options and installed successfully.
But I could not find Blend anywhere in Visual Studio when I opened it to create a new WPF project. What am I missing? I'm using Windows 7 OS. Thanks.

Have you tried searching for Blend in your start menu?
I have also installed VS 2012 Ult and my Blend works fine. In fact, I used it a few times to design Windows Store Apps

Console template in Visual studio 2013 not there?

The thing is, when I want to start a new project, the only template available are store app... Here's a screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/7mpUNZn.png
I am aware back in visual studio 2010, there was an option for console application and I wonder where it is... Maybe I am being stupid, but I do need help! I do not want to create windows 8 application :/.
Any help would be great!
You have most likely downloaded VISUAL STUDIO 2013 EXPRESS FOR WINDOWS (STORE).
You need the edition for Windows Desktop, located here. See all links and editions in Scott Hanselman's recent blog post.
AFAIK, the version that you require to create a console application is
"Express 2013 for Windows Desktop"
There are 3 versions of Visual Studio Express.
all three versions are found here:
http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx
"Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 with Update 4 for Windows Desktop" is the current version; one can choose between "install now" and a .iso image.

Opening existing project in VS 2012 RC

I have a project which is build in VS 2012RC, But when i zipped the project and transfer it to my machine,extracted it and try to open solution file(.sln) in my machine which also consist of VS 2012RC, it fires a pop up that
"This edition of Visual Studio only supports Windows Metro style apps".
So, What do i need to do to open the project in my machine, Please let me know if am missing something, Thanks in advance.
Visual Studio 2012 has many editions. To me you are using VS Express edition, which only supports Metro app development. Like #leppie suggested, you might install VS Ultimate edition, which can open all sorts of projects.

Windowed Application Visual Studio 2012

I've tried to create one Blank project from Visual C# Express Edition 2012. When I start my application it's in full screen mode.... I want to create an windowed application.
Where is the option for make the window mode?
P.S.: my OS is Windows 8 RC
Visual Studio Express 2012 RC doesn't yet support desktop development. It will only be available eventually in the upcoming stable release of VS2012, as a separate Express SKU called Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop.
If you must start desktop development on Windows 8 RP now, you can install Visual C# 2010 Express, which should work the same way on Windows 8 as it always does.
From what I understand about Visual C# Express 2012 you can only create Metro applications with the express version. If you want to create traditional windowed applications you have to buy the professional edition. However I think Windows 8 is compatible with older versions of VS Express.

WP7 XNA+Silverlight Templates missing

I got an issue with Visual Studio, Silverlight 5 Beta SDK and XNA.
I did a fresh install of all Visual Studio components I need to create the application I have in mind:
Visual C# 2010 Express
XNA Game Studio 4.0
Visual Web Developer 2010 Express
Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone
Visual Studio 2010 SP1
Silverlight 5 Beta Tools
However, when I start VS 2010 Express for Windows Phone and go to create a new project these are the templates I have:
Missing Templates
But there are a few templates missing.
How can I make appear the following templates:
Full list of templates
So what am I missing in this? I believe I installed everything and still nothing appears.
Is it because I'm using the express edition of visual studio? it doesn't make much sense though.
You installed that SDK correctly (uninstalled a previous installed SDK version correctly too)?
You could try and reset your vs2010 settings. This sometimes helps to restore missing project templates. You can do so like this:
Go to Tools / Import Export Settings
Choose to "Reset all Settings"
Restart Visual Studio
No guarantees but that helped me once before, so it is probably worth a try.
Just for others to know, you must have Visual Studio 2010 service pack 1(download link) before that.
