Anthony:

To enable the Silverlight Patterns application you must have the Silverlight 4 Tools for Visual Studio installed (download from Microsoft) and the Silverlight 4 Toolkit (download from Codeplex). All are freely available.

It is also mentioned in our 'Getting Started' documentation as well as in the 'Silverlight Patterns' documentation.
Hope this helps.

Dan.
