how install silverlight

so it has to be installed on every pc You work on, it´s just a "linking" plugin not standalone

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?

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

GREAT JOB! briandau & The_Altruist

It even allowed me to run local TV's stupid VOD service..
why did they choose damn Silverlight in the first place is a mystery

Personally I used Sandboxie here to make sandboxed installation without dirtying my OS or using clean VM.

Here is the full list I got for those who might want it:

Left:  Silverlight.exe\.rsrc_2\silverlight.7z\Silverlight.msp\PCW_CAB_Silver\ (using 7-zip)
Right: target name in your plugin directory
Sort:  filename in installer

Note:
Windows is case insensitive OS but I preserved names as done by Silverlight installer.
Those files in subdirs are language specific files and can be omitted to save space
(I don't use any of those locales so don't kill me if..)

I used Sandboxie to extract the dlls (and other files) for Flash Player and Silverlight. I then placed these files in my empty Firefox Portable plugins folder.
As of 08/14/10, I have the latest versions of Flash and Silverlight installed in this directory (Flash = 10.1.82.76, Silverlight = 4.0.50524.0).

Here is the link to a zip file of this plugins directory, it should work for anyone with Firefox Portable. I have included a NOTE.txt file as well:
[Link removed, this is illegal redistribution of those components which you are not allowed to do - mod Chris]

thanks‚ grimm666

I'd like to install manually silverlight from my job P.C's (I don't have the admin rights) and I'd like to know if it's possible for you to send me your files to add to firefox portable please

Thank's in advance

As follow up, regarding the above "copy all Silverlight to plugins folder" solution, it did not run Silverlight on the T5730 Windows XP embedded SP3 thin client. Firefox portable worked well, but under Netflix' page, though it logged in properly, when I tried to play a movie, it simply went to a blank black screen with Firefox frame. No blue string of spinning pearls, no error, nothing.

Won't write it off based on preliminary XPe results alone. But would welcome other 'experimenting adventurers' to find another solution to run the newer Silverlight version 5 as a portable plugin under the newest Firefox version 10.02 or later, running on a base install Windows XP home/pro/whatever (please say what it works with to give fellow users a fighting chance at supplying all supplemental file dependencies to make their 'flavor' of XP work).
