how install silverlightSubmitted by shad0w on June 21, 2008 - 4:16pm
how install silverlight on portable firefox 3.0? ( categories: )
|
there are different kinds of plugins
standalone like flash
others that have to be installed on the machine you use
so try out the following, if there´s silverlight installed on your PC start firefox, go to tools/addons/plugins. Click on the silverlight plugin and you have the path to it (like C:/programms/Microsoft silverlight/npctrl.1.0.xxxxx.dll), copy the dll into the data/plugins folder and try out a different PC.. never tried out myself

I'm trying on one PC. Copy all files from "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\" to Data\plugins\ folder and restart firefox and go to http://preview.microsoft.com/video/ - but site get message "Get Microsoft Silverlight"
sorry about my bad English
What sites need SilverLight
What sites need SilverLight anyway?

Seems 99.99% of sites using this are MicroSoft sites. Maybe MicroSoft wants to create this to try and take Flash market share. I'm not interested in another flash-like plugin. It's time Microsoft should actively adopt existing standards for once. What's next, IE coming without Flash plugin to push their ow proprietary formats once more?
Um
IE does come without Flash. And when Silverlight was created Flash was most definitely a closed standard.

Guys, this is interesting, but what about my questions?
Silverlight
Install Silverlight (Google is your friend...)

> **Siverlight is NOT portable!!!**
I know!!! Don't work on PORTABLE FIREFOX, in IE - working good!
seems you don´t know what plugins are..
most of them are just small code snips linking to installed programms and to use their functions in the browser you select (= adobe plugin etc)
some like flash (or piclense)can be integrated into the browser alike an addon and are fully functional, I call them standalone.
When you install silverlight on your PC it should work with IE(cause it´s microsoft)and it worked with Firefox2.x installed, seems that it doesn´t work in FF3 till now,but there´s an update announced...
So that´s not a browser problem but one of the programm provider to make the plugin working..maybe that´s not intended
.. might be another step in browser war
Else, see all posts above
EDIT: perhaps I got your message now, didn´t mean to be rude.
You´re right, silverlight shows up in FF3 local/portable but it´s not compatible/not working. Checked an old FFP2.x : it´s still working. - So, as I said above there´s no need for microsoft, updating their programm quickly because it´s working with IE. -
So, if you´re addicted to another MS incompatible/closed source app : downgrade to FFP 2.0.0.14 or use their browser for those flash alike animations.
BTW: they still say, it´s Beta....

Thanks!
Thanks!
Anything new since June? (bump)
I am bumping this topic to see if since it was opened if anyone has come up with any work around for FF3 Portable and MS Silverlight. So far it still seems to be incompatible with FF3 Portable. There were some solutions directing users to the install of the SDK package of Silverlight (Beta 2,) but I do believe that was only for local installs of Firefox 3.
If anyone has come up with something recently on how to remedy the incompatibility issue with FF3 Portable please let me know. My only suggestion is for now unless someone has come up with a solution is to use Firefox's IE Tab Add-on. The latest version is for FF 3.0.
Thanks!

Actually...
Actually... IETab only uses the Internet Explorer engine on the local PC. So portability wont be used (you wont get your history saved, the computers will have your site history...).
Silverlight is heavily restricted by MS packaging way and license. So it is unlikely that any legit site will portabilize it. I am sorry i can't help more
Photoshop? No… I use GIMP. No, It's not pirate. No, I didn't pay for it. It is possible! Because it's free. Yes, free! Ok! Stay with your pirated Photoshop!!! Idiot…
true & false
yay, IETab uses the IE engine installed, butdon´t saves any history in the host computer. & anyway, & wave been using microsoft sites lately & all of them have the option of NOT using silverlight.................for now 8~P
Eiñ??? A siñature????
Silverlight on FF3 working
Needed:
FF3 Portable
7-Zip Portable
Access to the internet.
This may be overkill, but this worked for me. On a computer I had minimal access rights on.
I downloaded the Silverlight.exe installer. I opened it inside 7-Zip.
I saw 4 files, silverlight.7z being the biggest of all.
I extract that, then opened it inside 7-zip.
There was another file called Silverlight.msp.
It wouldn't let me extract it (Don't know why), but it let me open it.
I found a set of inner files.
Once again, I went for the big one (PCW_CAB_Silver).
I opened this one. Lots of DLLs and EXE's and a very useful Manifest.XML.
I extracted them.
All the files had the periods removed from their names. Renaming to their proper extensions was easy, but figuring out where to insert the rest of the periods (i.e. System.web.dll)
Here's a pastebin of what works for me.
http://pastebin.ca/1638878
I inspected the files and found that ctrlResource.DLL Inner name was NPCTRLUI.
I made a copy and renamed it to NPCTRLUI.DLL
Then I copy everything and pasted to the plugin folder.
Maybe I didn't need to, but it worked.
Probably didn't need to do half that, but I can guarantee that it works... at least to an extent.
http://silverlight.net/ complains that I don't have the latest version (huh?), however, when I go to the showcase ( http://silverlight.net/showcase/ ), ah, there's that sweet sweet loving.
Your mileage may vary.
Know this that every soul is free.
Silverlight Fix
I tried your fix and I couldn't get it to work. I did all of the steps you mentioned and didn't get any results at all. Is it possible that silverlight was already on the computer you were using or something? I hope I am wrong and I can get this working.
