Install XNA 4.0 Visual Studio 2010 Windows 8

I installed windows 8 a month ago and now want to add xna game studio 4.0 to my visual studio 2010 ultimate. I downloaded the xna installer from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=23714 and ran the setup. First it said something about compatibility issues but the setup continued. after it finished I restarted the computer and wanted to make a xna project but its not showing in the c# drop-down menu. So i took a look at the %programm files(x86)%/Microsoft viual studio 10.0/Common 7/IDE/extensions/Microsoft, but there was no xna folder. Did I do something wrong or is windows 8 having some issues with vs2010 and xna 4.0?

i have installed windows 8 developper preview

and i wanted to install xna frame work on visual studio 2012

but i had a compatibility issue

so here is what to do to fix this problem

go ahead and download Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate ISO from microsoft

Then Burn it on a cd using Burning Tool (Nero Express for exp)

if you dont have cd to burn it you can use Daemon Tools to raise an ISO into a virtual CD/DVD drive

Here is the Download Link for Daemon tools

after installing Visual Studio 2010
