Installation Tips for Silverlight Tools Beta 1 for Visual Studio 2008

46 Comments

• Thanks for this Long Post helping in the installation. But I think the installation could have been made easier. Why does a develope need to do so many stuff to install a SDK of silverlight
  

• The C++ requirement was a bear. I had to uninstall VS2008 Pro because i did not have an ISO image and, suprise, the Ventian bandwidth was terrible so no chance getting it from MSDN. I then installed VS2008 from the disk at the conference and installed SL 2.0 on top of that. I love SL but this should have been avoided. Now I need to get back home and fix the laptop. Minor glitch guys, minor glitch but I was bitching yesterday afternoon...
  

• I continue to get the installation error about can't install previouly installed... I;ve checked and re-checked for the items listed and I don't have any of the installed (at least by the name given). I checked for KB949325 and it is not installed.
  
  What else could it be?
  

• Hey George, You'll get this error if you have any previous build of Silverlight 2 other than build 30226.02.
  
  I'd recommend un-installing all Silverlight entries from Add and Remove Programs.
  
  Another thing to look for is KB947520. This KB was from one of the internal builds of Beta 1. It was never released publically, but some of our partners are running into KB947520 being already installed.
  
  Hope this helps,
  Brad
  

• Nice job I was looking for this damn thing from two days......
  

• Hi,
  
  I think that we have to start the "msiexec /p VS90-KB949325.msp /l*vx VS90-KB949325.log REINSTALL=ALL" with administrative rights using Windows Vista UAC. I got a message that "c:\program files\microsoft visual studio 9.0\common7\tools\vsvars32.bat" could not be opened for write.

• One of the most interesting things is if you attempt to install the Silverlight SDK prior to installing the tools, it fails. I figured I had to have Silverlight, then the SDK, then the tools, but ended up uninstalling the SDK to get the tools installed. After that, no problems. For that reason, I would recommend using the "all in one" tools loader.
  

• First installation failed, extracted the files and ran it again, it worked fine from both commands but can't see the new project type in VS2008
  
  any other work arounds?

  Product: Microsoft Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Suite - ENU - Update 'KB949325' installed successfully.

• This article has been a livesaver for me!
  Super! Explaines the things great!
  More of this would make the internet better!
  

• Hi,
  Nice post.
  I used the "Prompt for installation source media" procedure, but I had to change security settings on this file (???)
  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\Tools\vsvars32.bat
  

• excellent stuff...you really helped me out with this
  

• excellent... you really helped me.
  
  Thanks
  

• Thankyou for an excellent post! :o)
  

• okayy whenever I try to install it it says that it cant be downloaded to this computer....why is this??
  

• Thank you for a great post.
  I got this error "The project type is not supported by this installation" and followed the steps provided by running devenv.exe /resetskippkgs but no luck. Any other ideas?
  

• Finally a short but complete guide to installation errors. I had to figure it out by myself. It took me two and a half hour to uninstall and reinstall everything but it didn't work... so I used ccleaner and regcleaner to erase unerasable objects... Anyways, I felt like I could do that by trial and error and maybe won't be able to repeat the process. This article is now the first page in my silverlight pages,
  
  thx
  

• Great article, it's works correctly!
  

• thanx alot man
  devenv.exe /resetskippkgs
  this command works fine for me
  :-)
  

• thanks. it helps a lot.
  

• I wanted to learn SL technology and then tried to install SL sdk but I met a problem of installation. It that problem was preinstalled programs of previous version of SL as this post. So, I solved my problem by this post. Thanks very much!

• Hello there.
  I have something to say, about Aloe vera, something about which you wrote above, about health and nutritional... For a long time, I and my fine friend use the products of the Forever Living Company. We every time see the nice results and also we earn money for our families and we are happy. My friend works with aloe vera in the company of Forever Living Products has more than 5 years (My friend works ONLY in the FLP and has a wife and three children). I know Aloe Vera products for personal care for a long time, but a year ago, began working as a distributor in the FLP.
  Of course, this job is some difficult, but in no other case, You really can earn so much much money with so much much fun and smiling faces around..
  So if you want to discuss something about which you wrote above, and about my experience with Aloe products for nutritional, I'll always be glad to talk.
  
  Best regards from Washington state and have a nice day!
  Andrew - Aloe Vera Distributor

• Silverlight tools are good, but not all of them are working. Some of its features are not working on my end.
  

• If you don't uninstall these products first you'll get this error dialog from the installer.
