I see a lot of refs to something called 'blend for visual studio' which I understand a W8 version of blend. I have VS2012 Ultimate installed on W8 and I don't see any blend.

I looked into my MSDN Pro subscription and I don't see neither separate Blend for VS2012 download not VS2012 with Blend download..

How do I get it?

It is one of the install options that you pick when you do the install (or at least it was in 2012 Professional).

You should be able to get it by going

  1. Add/Remove Programmes
  2. Select VS 2012 and Clicking Change
  3. Click Modify in the VS installer
  4. Tick the Blend for Visual Studio option
