I've downloaded Silverlight_chainer.exe and tried to install it. It failed saying I needed Visual Web Developer. I have Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Professional. The original files are in a folder on C: as I downloaded them from MSDN (I have download license, not DVD).
During the install of Web Developer an error appeared saying it needed SQLSysClrTypes.msi and asked me to locate it. I downloaded the file from MSDN and saved where the CAB files are for my VS 2008 install. The setup dialog fails with a message: "The chosen path is invalid. Chose OK to select a different folder."
Any ideas on getting past this point please? I've copied the file to a CD but VS update won't even accept D:\.
I'm running Windows Vista Business SP1.
Thanks

You shouldn't need VWD Express (partly because it's not supported yet), you just need the Web Developer part of VS. If you go to Add/Remove Programs, select your VS install, select Uninstall/Change, and then Add/Remove features. You should see Visual Web Developer under the Lanugage Tools section.

I tried both. Web Developer Express didn't work so I uninstalled it. I then found the Web Developer part of the VS setup and that is where this problem happened.
Thanks for your help
