Visual Studio unable to open Blend 2 projects

I really don't know if this is the correct forum, so excuse me if it's not.
Well, whenever I try opening a Blend 2 Silverlight 2 application in Visual Studio (2008), it says that the project type is not supported by the installation.

Any ideas?

Blend 2 SL 2 projects in Visual Studio require you to be having VS 2008 SP1 and also the developer tools and SDK of Silverlight. you can get them here - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=c22d6a7b-546f-4407-8ef6-d60c8ee221ed&displaylang=en

Hmm, when it gets to "Installing Visual Studio 2008 SP1", it tells me that it cannot open the install package. Should I just redownload, or am I totally screwed?

Hey again, installing the service pack didn't help. I'm can open Blend 2 projects, however when opening an XAML Page's designer, it just gives me its code and doesn't highlight the XAML.

Got a solution?
