Getting Silverlight 1.0 RC working with VS 2008 on a Vista Box
I can't promise it will work for you, but if you’re interested, here is the order of install that I did, along with links for the bits, to build a box from a base Vista image to a VS2008/Silverlight demo machine :-)
My experience has been good so far. Of course, let me state the obvious. Don't do this on a production box, as it's betaware. I hope you know that already, though.
