I have a licensed version of Visual studo 2010 on a Windows 7 machine and want to make an
ordinary stand alone windows application with the “ribbon window” look and feel in C#.
But I seems not to be able to create a new project “WPF window ribbon style”,
there is no such option (ribbon style) when I am about to create a new project
nor does all those different downloads I have done from msn helped.

There is no “ribbon stuff” among the “All WPF Controls” either.
Is it wrong to assume that the “ribbon style” should appear as an option when you create a
new project, is it something I have to manually add in the xaml file for the main window or
is there a magic download link that fix everything which I have not discovered ?
I even tried to download “Visual studio 2010 proffesional trial version on another computer
but that one did not contain the ribbon thing either.
I have tried to download the “SimpleRibbon” project but Visual studio wants to “convert” it
and then when I try to compile it, it says “error MSB6006: “cmd.exe” exited with code 9009″.
Have a look at the WPF Toolkit. The ribbon control is included in there: http://wpf.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=WPF%20Ribbon%20Preview&ProjectName=wpf. Also: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11877.
