Is that correct? Will it be changed in the future? It gave an error message instead of telling me to reboot. yuck.

I don't know of any cases that a reboot would be required except if you already had a previous CTP installed. Can you describe your system? We didn't design the installer to require a reboot.-markProgram ManagerMicrosoftThs post is provided "as-is"

It says a reboot is required, though the installation has completed successfully for Alpha 1.1 installation. If there is no case that a reboot is required, or the installer requires a reboot, we wont endup with errorID 3010. http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/help.aspx?errorID=3010
Thanks

Hello
Installing the 1.0 version was not a problem, is it smart to go on with the Feb. release or do I have to change it all to the Beta / Alpha release? ( what an effort)
and can someone tell me what are the main differents between programming with the alfa or the beta version? (javascript and .net)?Why are there now 2 options? (alfa or beta) Few months ago you just had the dec. release and later the februar release.Hope someone can help me with this new "happening" in SilverLight.
greetings gerard

I installed on XP with the Feb CTP previously installed, I'll test on other PC's that don't have the Feb CTP

Hi,
I only installed the 1.0 version but did an uninstall of the WPF/e CTP just before that. I didn't had to reboot my system and everything worked out just fine. I'm on Vista Enterprise.
Grz, Kris.

Kris, I did exactly what you did. But it asked me for a reboot. I am on XP SP 2

Did you also have trouble getting the blend integration to work? I'm at MIX and their lab systems have a cool integratin where you right mouse ont he xaml file and it pulls up blend. When I added blend to my "run programs from mouse" button, blend came up but set my super trivial default silverlight xaml file was bad.

answered my own question. I needed the May Preview edtion of blend for this to work.

I got the same problem that says a reboot is required, though the installation has completed successfully for Alpha 1.1 installation.
My system is XP SP2.

Uninstalled boyh these 1.0 and 1.1 . Then install the Alpha 1.1. This error will NOT pop.

Do you mean you cannot install Alpha 1.1 when Beta 1.0 is installed on the system?
They say
Microsoft Silverlight 1.0 Beta - for Mac or for Windows The runtime required to experience Silverlight.
Microsoft Silverlight 1.1 Alpha - for Mac or for Windows The runtime required to view Silverlight applications created with .NET
I am still having problem installing Alpha 1.1. I did everything they said but in vain!

You can install the 1.1 Alpha, but it is an upgrade to the 1.0 Beta and the 1.0 Beta will be removed. (That's ok because the 1.1 Alpha has all the functionality of the 1.0 Beta) Is your problem still that it says a reboot required? This is happening because one of the files is being locked (probably by your browser), and can't be replaced right now. Everything should work after a reboot.

You can avoid the reboot during the beta/alpha by shutting down all your browsers then installing the 1.0beta or 1.1alpha from a browser that hasn't loaded any Silverlight content yet - this will keep the browser from locking the dlls.
