I can't seem to get Page Inspector to show when right mouse clicking on Project Tab in right side window or on any page in the Solution Explorer. What's up? I went to the tutorial at
http://www.asp.net/mvc/videos/mvc-4/using-page-inspector-in-aspnet-mvc where it says it is included in VS 2012 Express for WEB, but I can't find it. Can anyone help- PLEASE!
OK, again when I right click on a file in Solution Explorer; i.e., "index.cshtml", I get a pop-up menu with many less options than the window capture shown above has available. For instance the only "View XXX" option I get is "View Markup" .
"View in Page Inspector" does not not appear. Also when I try the ''Ctr+K, Ctrl+G" keyboard shortcut, I get an error message that says: "the key combination (Ctrl+K, Ctrl-G) is not a command". So, again, my question is: "Why does the tutorial
on "Page Inspector" (at the link I provided earlier) say that this feature is supported in VS 2012 Express for Web, but I can't get to it? Do I need to load some feature/extension that I don't know about,
or is "Page Inspector" really not supported in VS 2012 Express for Web?

I think your Visual Studio installation is not good. Can you try by reinstalling it? Please uninstall it first and download it from
here and do a clean installation.

As I said, it's something specific only to you so I think your VS is corrupted.

No need to do anything. Here I'm using VS2012 Express at home and I can confirm that it's available by default.
Thanks so much for your response. OK, I will try and reload it one more time (already installed it three times previously). I even got an auto update notice last night and installed that, but what the hey I'll give it another try and let you know what
happens. Wish me luck.
This is getting way past frustrating! I've just un-installed and re-installed VS 2012 Express for Web for the 4th time and I still don't have access to the Page Inspector, via right-click, or otherwise. What's going on?
PROBLEM FIXED!! After the last re-install I went back over 2 months of software installs and unistalled everything that had to do with Microsoft .NET, SQL, etc., and re-installed VS Express from total scratch and it solved the problem. I must have some
earlier SW modules that stepped on VS somehow. Thanks for all your help.
