Which image ? Trying now and the site works here. Also ok with the video... If you have really an image it could be a more general problem ?

What if you try :
- http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/resources/install.aspx

It should display which version is installed (I installed version Silverlight 2 GDR 1 (2.0.40115.0))

If you have a developer setup DON'T install from there. http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/ is likely preferred and in particular you have the new runtime installs... Have you followed all the steps (including VS 2008 SP1 as well as the Silverlight Tools and then the updated developer runtime ?)

For now it worked well for me (or could it be a IE8 issue ? was IE8 installed before or after Silvelight ?)

I posted a problem with install of Silverlight (have given up on attempting to get the tools to work with VS 2008). Finally got it to install on Vista.

Went to a couple of sites and all was well.

Ok , now I go to the MS site http://silverlight.net/learn/learnvideo.aspx?video=57010 and what does it want me to do???? Install Silverlight. So what gives??? It is installed. Is this just about the stupidest piece of software ever??? I know there is supposed to be a way to determine if the software is there and prompt the user to install. IT IS INSTALLED!!!


Is there anyone who can help with this. After nearly 40 years of programming experience this takes the cake. Adobe don't worry.

More WTF!!

http://silverlight.net/showcase/

In IE I get a "X Install Silverlight" , "X" is for the fact that the image is not found.

In Chrome I see the whole thing. Is it IE (just installed IE8 RC1 yesterday) or Silverlight.

The image is the "X" shown when an image is not available (tried in several browsers). If I go to a site with Silverlight it now works. The stupid MS site for Silverlight does not. It does not think it is installed.

I go to the site http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/resources/install.aspx and it indicates an install is necessary (if the Install shows when that condition exists). In the Silverlight gallery I go to one of the sites : http://amegas.org/index.php and it works. The about which is brought up shows version 2.0.40115.0

I have assume that since it works on some sites MS has no idea of how to detect it. I guess it is good that people other than MS can make it work. All in all it is a very confusing and not at all professional.
