re: Silverlight Runtime Install Failure in VS2010 RC

The developer runtime has all the same bits as the end user runtime and it also include the debugging component. So, you do not need to uninstall it to view SL apps on the internet.

However, you DO need to make sure when it is upgraded, that you are choosing the developer installer (Silverlight_Developer.exe).

The Silverlight is updated via Microsoft Update. So when a new version is released, it will update your developer runtime to the lastest developer runtime.

If you choose NOT to use Microsoft Update...OR, you are visiting a site that is demo-ing an application built with a _beta_ version of Silverlight, you will need to manually install the latest version. The installer for the developer runtime can be found on Silverlight.net under the "Get Started" tab. Or, you can use the links in the blog above.

I installed the SL3 developer's runtime, and i can debug my SL projects in VS2008 without a problem. But then I go visit a website with SL clips on it which requires a SL end-user runtime installation. But it can not be installed because it keeps saying the my SL has already been installed. What shall I do now? Can't I ever watch any SL clips while browsing the internet ever again for being an SL developer without constantly uninstalling and reinstalling these two versions of SL run-times ? That's insane!!

Thanks for the note - I have just experienced the same problem.. I'm glad that it does not affect the entire MS VS 2010 solution.

@pete.d No, the crash is a separate issue related to Handwriting Recognition that is currently being worked on

Thanks for the tip about the Silverlight Developer runtime. After I installed v3, VS2010 worked great!

NOTE: installing VS2010 Pro RC, an error was reported installing Silverlight. However, it was NOT the "event log full" error. Instead, I actually got a crash (with the "check online for solution" alert), and the VS2010 installer simply reported that it failed to install.

Is this still the same error as the known problem being reported here?

@Peter look it your registry for the value of

HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Silverlight\Components\Debugging

if that isn't set, then you don't have the developer runtime installed

@Roussel yes, you can build SL3 apps with VS2010 RC and the Silverlight 4 Beta developer runtime

I have SL 4 beta developer runtime, I have vs 2010 beta 2 and I'm developing a SL 3 app which needs to be contantly updated and publicly available.

Now can I use the VS 2010 RC with all this in mind ?

I installed VS2010RC 5 days ago, but I cant get the debugging for Silverlight working...

The error I get is:

---------------------------

Microsoft Visual Studio

---------------------------

Unable to start debugging. The Silverlight Developer Runtime is not installed. Please install a matching version.

---------------------------

I uninstalled all Silverlight SDK's, Tools and runtimes in Control panel.

And then installed your link Silverlight 3 Developer Runtime http://go2.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=150228

I have now installed:

* SDK version 3.0.40818.0

* runtime 3.0.50106.0

but still get that error message

Silverlight debugging in VS2008 was working before...
