These cumulative updates to Visual Studio 2013 include a variety of bug fixes and capability improvements, including tools for Windows Phone 8.1 and 8.0 development.

If you already have Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows installed and just want Update 5, you can download it here.

You can use the tools in Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows to create innovative and compelling Windows Phone and Windows Store apps on Windows 8.1. The tools include a full-featured code editor, a powerful debugger, a focused profiler, and rich language support that you can use to build apps that you write in HTML5/JavaScript, C++, C#, or Visual Basic. Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows also includes tools for Windows Phone 8.0 development, a device simulator that you can use to test Windows Store apps on multiple kinds of devices, and Windows Phone emulators that you can use to test how your Windows Phone apps will run on different devices.

Note: If you already have Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows (original release version) and run this download, only Update 5 is installed. If you don't have Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows and run this download, both Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows and Update 5 are installed. In either case, Visual Studio 2013 Language Packs (original release versions) can also be installed.

Support for Visual Studio 2013 is only provided on this current update, which is considered the Visual Studio 2013 Service Pack. The Visual Studio 2013 RTM version, released in November of 2013, will only be supported for one year after the release of this current update.
