Beginner's question about installation of MVC3

I'm trying to watch my first MVC training video and I'm already confused.

I have VS2010 Professional (SP1 Rel) installed. Yet when I go to create a new Web Project, I only see MVC2 listed as an option.

I tried installing and running the Web Platform installer and it's advising me to install 'Visual Studio 2010 SP1'.

I installed this 'SP1' on 4/17 as a prequisite to SQL Server Express. The SP version is 10.0.40219.

Is that already obsolete? Should I go ahead and install from the Web Platform Installer?

You can download it from here:

Thanks.

(So MVC3 is entirely separate from VS2010's service packs? For that matter, why isn't it showing up on the Web Platform Installer's list? I should mention that my sole exposure to MVC so far is that Pluralsight video on the MVC page, Introduction to Asp.Net MVC. How old is it?)

Re: Beginner's question about installation of MVC3

It should show up in the web installer that comes with SP1. Do you have SP1 for VS 2010?
