Many people want to be able to deploy via Group Policy as MSI rather than executing the EXE via script. I have written a batch file which demonstrates how to do this. To avoid line wrapping problems, I am not pasting it here, but it is available at http://www.ronnyong.com/Silverlight10Admin.txt (save with .bat or .cmd extension). There are extensive comments explaining what the Silverlight Deployment Guide does not. Naturally, this is provided "AS IS" with no warranties and confers no rights. I just love saying "confers."

When I use the UpdateMode DWORD value 2 under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Silverlight, the update control panel in Silverlight is greyed out with the radio button for automatic updates still selected. Are the updates turned off or not? I have also tried deleting the HKCU UpdateMode key-same result. Any thoughts?
