Quite a few folks here in India have e-mailed me informing of the various errors/queries they get while installing/configuring the development environment for Silverlight 2.0.
Let me summarize the Steps to help you to easily Install Silverlight 2.0 beta 1 development environment:
- Uninstall all previous versions of Silverlight 1.0, 1.1, Silverlight 1.1 Tools for Alpha or any of the Silverlight SDKs, including the Silverlight 2 Beta 1 SDK.
- Download Microsoft Silverlight Tools Beta 1 for Visual Studio 2008 from link, http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E0BAE58E-9C0B-4090-A1DB-F134D9F095FD&displaylang=en (Download & save it locally)
- Extact the individual installers run this command: silverlight_chainer.exe /extract
This will extract the following installers, along with other support files.
Silverlight.2.0.exe
VS90-KB949325.msp
silverlight_sdk.msi
VS_SilverlightTools_Beta1_Setup.exe - It critical that you install these components in the order listed above. (Silverlight 2, KB949325, SDK, Tools)
- To install KB949325 w/o being prompted for media run this command:
msiexec /p VS90-KB949325.msp /L*vx VS90-KB949325.log REINSTALL=ALL
Note: this command will require administrative rights and it does not add the KB to Add/Remove Programs. - To list these Silverlight tools in Visual Studio's Help->About dialog and to be able to uninstall these tools from Add/Remove Programs (ARP), install the patch again using the following command:
msiexec /p VS90-KB949325.msp /L*vx VS90-KB949325-2.log ADDLOCAL=KB947520
Finally run the VS_SilverlightTools_Beta1_Setup.exe installer to complete the Silverlight Tools installation.
I found the link http://weblogs.asp.net/bradleyb/archive/2008/03/06/installation-tips-for-sivliverlight-tools-beta-1-for-visual-studio-2008.aspx very very helpful to provide you with - Installation Tips for Silverlight Tools Beta 1 for Visual Studio 2008.
