Silverlight 2b1 will not install

05-07-2008 9:38 PM |

No matter how Silverlight 2 installation is started (from web download, nor command-line start), it refuses to install on my WinXP Pro SP2 computer with IE7.  There is a brief command window before it quits with no errors, nor messages.  If you need more information from my system, please be detailed with the instructions.

Hi:

  Could you paste the log file?

>cd %temp%

>SilverlightMSI.log

Regards

Sorry, no log file by that name or any name with Silverlight in it under %temp% directory tree, nor under a few other temp directories (such as c:\windows\temp, c:\temp, ...).  I also searched my "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>" and also "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users".  No log file for Silverlight.  I am guessing it didn't execute to far into the install program to create the log file (it does disappear quickly).

Any command-line options for the installer that would help?

Hi:

  I cannot repro it on my side. Have you checked virus? Can you install any other programmes?

I have tried disabling my AV and firewall to no avail.  I have no trouble installing other applications; in fact, I just finished installing two IE7 addons (IE7Pro and FindAsYouType).
