I am running Windows 8 x64 and have Visual Studio 2012 with the latest update and Visual Studio 2013 preview (latest update) installed. I also have the Windows Phone SDK for Windows Phone 8 development on Visual Studio 2012.

I have read somewhere online that there is no SDK required for Windows Phone 8 on Visual Studio 2013. But Where is the new phone project option?

Found it, had to modify my vs2013 installation... (stupid me) Is it an idea to leave this online for the community? (if I forget it again, and cannot find a source online lol!)
