Installed the LightSwitch Extensibility Toolkit 2011 and when I try to create a LS project I'm not able to see it as selectable a project type. I've checked help and the toolkit is listed as installed.

Did you install the VS2010 SDK for SP1? I'm assuming you are using LightSwitch 2011 here.

Yes I have installed the SDK. I'm also running VS2012 and I am able to create LightSwitch apps with it but I don't see the template in my VS2010 environment.

Can you confirm that you have installed this one:

... and not

as from what I recall LightSwitch 2011 Extensibility Toolkit does need the SDK SP1 or the extensibilty templates do not show up.

I've verified I installed VS2010 SP1 SDK by using Programs and Features.

From an elevated developer command prompt, try "devenv /setup". This should reregister the extension (the extensibility toolkit), among other things, and the templates should appear in the new project dialog.

How do I run an elevated prompt? I'm running the command prompt from VS 2010 and I'm getting an access error.

I ran both devenv /setup and devenv /installVSTemplates and both ran successfully but did not make the LightSwitch project type display.
