title: How to add PCL Profile 259
body: <p>How is it possible to setup Profile 259?</p>
  
  <p>Right now my dev environment has VS 2012(Update 4), Xamarin Studio 5.5.2 &amp; Windows Phone SDK 8 (in which I haven't activated a phone yet).</p>
  
  <p>When I try to create a PCL project (to be used with a MVVMCross framework) I can select the iOS &amp; Android frameworks but not the Windows Phone 7. The process of "adjusting" profile 259 is described in <a href="http://danrigby.com/2014/04/10/windowsphone81-pcl-xamarin-fix/" rel="nofollow">this article</a>, which assumes the profile already exists in a physical folder. </p>
  
  <p>In my situation there is only profile 78. </p>
