Installing Windows Phone SDK for VS 2012

Solution
VS 2012 only supports Windows Phone 8 SDK.
You can build Windows Phone 7.1 app using Windows Phone 8 SDK on top of VS 2012. http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2012/10/30/introducing-windows-phone-sdk-8-0.aspx
Problem
I'm using Windows 7, and have installed VS 2012 professional. Previously I installed the Windows Phone 7 sdk. Worked fine in VS2010. When I try creating a WP7 project in VS 2012 I don't see the option. I tried downloading and reinstalling the WP7 SDK but am getting prompted to repair/reinstall the existing installation, which must mean it's already on there? Is there a trick I'm missing to getting a WP project type to appear in VS 2012?
