Latest Silverlight Experience

Call my experience with Silverlight fate, karma, or a vast Microsoft conspiracy…

silverlight installs

I’m clicking both to see how smart the installers are…

*Update* For any MS chaps who stop by – after installing, I’m now being asked to download / install the latest version of Silverlight 2 every time I visit the page linked above.

    Hi, sorry my counting primes page isn’t working properly for you. I’ve just tried it on FireFox and Safari and it is working OK here (I know that is not much help). There were a few annoyances:

    On Safari I had to install Silverlight 2.0 when I visited the page. It installed OK, but the installer does not tell you that Safari must be restarted before the applet will run.

    On Firefox, I had to update Flash.

    However, after doing both updates the page works fine for both applets, no prompts.

    I wonder if you have any beta version of Silverlight installed? Might be worth investigating. Otherwise, if there is a problem with my code and someone can tell what it is or help me find it, I’ll be glad to fix it.

    Tim
