Thanks a lot.

I struggled and struggled and struggled.

All our development machines do not have internet connectivity. And I had no way to go forward

Thanks again

The installer will attempt to use the proxy settings in Internet Explorer. Do you have the settings correct in IE?

akl:

Can you email me a copy of the Silverlight Tools installer log? It can be found under your %temp% folder, and will be named similar to 'Silverlight Tools RTW_<YYYYMMDD>_<timestamp>.html'. My email address is jamlew (AT) microsoft [DOT] com

Thanks

Based on the comments above, I am installing on a network that does not have an internet connection. I can see that this has been discussed, but I don't see the actual answer.

Hi Ace,

You need to create the folder with the chainer contents via either of the methods explained above, on a machine with an Internet connection. Then, copy that folder to your other network (via a USB key, CD, or whatever), and run the SPInstaller.exe on the machine where you need to install Silverlight Tools.

much simpler than all that:

Run Silverlight_Tools.exe

click then next button and wait

... then when it _does_ fail [after 4 retries over many minutes], the installer says it failed, but you get a link to the log.

click the link read IN DETAIL AT THE BOTTOM UP...

the log lists the link and where it's downloading to.

Simply copy the link [http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=127693] to Microsoft® Silverlight™ 2 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 SP1.

Then download the Silverlight.2.0_Developer.exe and copy it [sneaker-net as we call it] to the development machine.

Then copy it into the directory the log said it was installing it into:

%TEMP%\Silverlight Tools RTW\

normally = to:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your username>]\Local Settings\Temp\Silverlight Tools RTW\

Now, enjoy and have fun coding offline!
