Missing System.Windows.Interactivity in Silverlight 4 - mvvm light tutorial

Question

I'm using vs2010 with silverlight 4. I dont have expression blend.

Thanks in advance!

If someone else is looking for these dlls and doesn't have Blend installed, there is a free SDK download: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=d197f51a-de07-4edf-9cba-1f1b4a22110d – Dan Auclair Jun 24 '10 at 21:27

For Silverlight 5 Version: 5.0.5.0 runtime Version: v4.0.30319

I needed the System.Windows.Interactivity.dll available from this install http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=9503

It lets you choose where to install it but once it had finished it came up in the .NET tab under Add References...

Or you could just install a 60 days evaluation of blend 4. Nice to use when you are using MVVM light.
