When Visual Studio 2012 is released, Blend for Visual Studio 2012 is only enabled for Windows 8 App development. Theres Blend sketchflow preview for visual studio 2012 for other than windows 8 development. Later, Update 2 ctp is released and Blend for visual studio 2012 is enabled for non windows 8 development. Few day ago, Update 2 final is released and Blend for visual studio 2012 is disabled for non windows 8 development.
My question is, how can i enabled Blend for Visual Studio 2012 for non windows 8 development? preview version have unbearable bugs(tfs on slow connection). i hate microsoft for forcing us to upgrade to its crappy os just so i can use the latest dev tools.
I got the same problem and found a solution: Just do a repair of the VS 2012 Update 2 install. Go to Control Panel, Programs, View installed updates, select Visual Studio Update 2, select Change, Select Repair.
Yes, it sounds weird to do an update and immediately a repair of that update but in my case it worked. I found this solution somewhere on blendinsider.com. It is some bug in the upgrade process.
