When you install the Windows Phone 7 SDK it installs everything including "Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone" even if you have another non-express version of Visual Studio 2010 already installed. If you have another version of VS2010 installed. The installer will NOT create any shortcuts for the express version.

Nor will it set any file associations for it. This has two effects: The installer is simpler (It just gets everything and only needs logic around setting shortcuts) and so should be less buggy. - Most people have no issues with it.

The few who do have problems have mostly fixed them with a repair of the install. You can use both the Express and other version of VS2010 on the same machine. I find this particularly useful when looking at open source or demo projects which were created with the express version.

Thanks for this - it used to be possible to install them seperately, and I was hunting all over trying to figure out how to do it as I didn't want to install express all ready having VS 2010, same as the other user. – David Larrabee Mar 17 '11 at 22:06.

The WP7 environment will install into your existing instance of Visual Studio if you have one (and will install an Express edition if you don't).

Yes, you would need to download the full SDK. But nothing to worry since installing the SDK would automatically take care of installing the templates, and you should be able to work with your Ultimate edition with all the goodness :).

Microsoft could verify that the Visual Studio (not Express) is already installed on the machine BEFORE you download the Express version! Still, the Express version does not interfere with your other version of Visual Studio.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
