everytime i try to install it just comes back saying that it was successful, but it doesn't work. I've tried to install numerous times, each time removing silverlight from the conrol panel add/remove programs.
my system seems to meet requirement, can anyone suggest what the problem is?
my system:
window xp professional 2002 service pack 3
Intel core 2 CPU
T5600 @1.83GHZ
.99 GB of RAM

Hi,
You will need to install Visual studio Service Pack 1 or SP1 as it is commonly known before installing silverlight 2.0 sdk.
You can get it from the microsoft site for free.
Mark as answer if i have helped you or revert back.

Many thanks, tried this. To install this i need visual studio already installed which i dont. I really just need to install silverlight in order to watch streaming TV for setanta. any other suggestion? seems strange you have to install so many extra thigns to get this to work.

So you dont need it for any application development. If so, you just need to install the silverlight plugin to watch the videos in your browser.
The silverlight plugin will be available on the microsoft's site.
Mark as answer if it solves your problem.

You mean install silverlight 2 runtime successfully, but still cannot see any silverlight application. what can you see on this site http://silverlight.net/Showcase/ ?
just a guess, check if silverlight runtime plugin be disabled by your browser. (for ie8, you could see plugin setting at tools->internet options-> programs-> manage add-ons).

hi,
Even after uninstalling the silverlight from add/remove program its traces are left behind in the temp folder. Goto run> %temp% > enter . try remove the silverlight folder from it and then restart the computer once.
Then secondly, to confirm go to either www.microsoft.com/silverlight , if the plug-in has been removed successfully then, the website will ask you to download the plug-in for the same. Install the plug-in and there u are.

Unfortunately have tried all the above with removing all traces from the add/remove programs, from the temp folder, from the registery. but still when i go to the microsoft website it asks me to download so i do this but yet does not recognise that i downloaded it, as i said in the first post i meet all the requirements.

I think the version of silverlight you are installing and the application you want to view are different. Try installing a plugin for silverlight 3.0. I think this will solve your problem.
