Hi there I have installed VS2012 Ultimate RC on Win 7. But it does not show the project templates for Metro style app for VB and C#, & nothing for JavaScript. Is it necessary to install this VS on Win 8 RC, then only it will show up the templates for Metro and Javascript. Or is there a separate version of VS for that?
Win8 development is only supported on Win8. VS installs on any Windows OS from Vista onwards to support classic app development, but as you see you won’t have access to the Win8 app styles.
Since Win8 rc is available for free, you can download it and install it on a virtual machine and code on that for a low cost workaround. You don’t need to have it be your primary OS. Developing in a VM has a ton of benefits, but that’s not what you asked so I’ll leave it at that.
