Previosuly I had SL2 and i removed it after installing the toolkit for SL3 I cannot see the project templates in VS2008SP1. Even if I go tho VS2008 templates folder there is no silverlight folders.

I also tried to use the Web Platform Installer in fails with error code 1603 the log is as follows:-

DownloadManager Information: 0 : Starting EXE install for product 'Silverlight 3 Tools for Visual Studio'. Commandline is: 'C:\Documents and Settings\Anthony\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Web Platform Installer\installers\Silverlight3_Tools.exe /q'

I even reistalled SP1 for VS2008 but could not succeed in getting Silverlight 3 properly installed.

any help is appreciated

 Try using the silverlight tools.exe it uninstalled all the programs needed before it installed silverlight 3 on my machine
