vgarcia: There are different versions of the chainer for different languages. If you go to the download page there is a dropdown box to select the language you want. Try the Spanish one

This not worked for me.

I unpack the silverlight_chainer.exe and try to install all parts.

All is ok until i try to install:

VS90-KB950630.msp

VS90SP1-KB950632.msp

Then this packages show an error saying that can´t fin the program for the update. I think that there are some problems with my version of visual studio 2008 because it a Spanish profesional edition. I think that only ENU version can install silverlight 2 tools

(Sorry for my english)

I just installed Beta 2 and when I tried to create a new Silverlight project, I get:

Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Silverlight.IVsSilverlightService' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Application, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=meutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'

Victoria's steps worked for me on two machines, one running XP, the other running W2K8x64. Both machines have VS2008RTM and Blend 2.5 March Preview installed.

Thanks, Victoria Lee!

Hi mattcasto,

I from VN, the first time i install VS2008 professional I'm getting same error,

<< An Error Has Occurred:
Silverlight Tools cannot be installed because one or more of the following conditions is true:

1. Visual Studio 2008 RTM is not installed.
2. The Web Authoring feature of Visual Studio is not installed.
3. A previous version of the Silverlight Runtime is installed.
4. A previous version of the Silverlight SDK is installed.
5. The Visual Studio Update KB949325 is installed.
6. A previous version of Silverlight Tools is installed. >>

I fixed this problem and now running very good, i want to share my step by step, follow me:

Step 1: The 1st, you must install VS 2008 Standard edittion or Professional edition (because MS Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 not support VS 2008 Expression web edition ...)

When you install VS 2008 type full verion or default , it will install The Web Authoring feature of Visual Studio, The Visual Studio Update fix hot ( not KB949325, but no problem ).

Step 2: The 2rd, you must uninstall everything relative to MS Silverlight verion 1/ 2 ... ( notes: you can access Start \ Settings \ Control Panel \ Adds or remove programs for uninstall Microsoft Silverlight ).

Step 3: The 3th, you must download software MS Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 on MS's Address:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E0BAE58E-9C0B-4090-A1DB-F134D9F095FD&displaylang=en

File Name:	silverlight_chainer.exe
Version:	beta1
Date Published:	3/5/2008
Language:	English
Download Size:	54.5 MB

(Notes: you just install MS Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 (silverlight_chainer.exe) because it have got ready Silverlight SDK ,

If you installed Silverlight SDK then you must uninstall it (Silverlight SDK because it is error - no support VS 2008 pro / std), after that you can continues install MS Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Tools for Visual Studio 2008.

Step 4: MS Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Tools for Visual Studio 2008 will install and automatic download update fix for The Visual Studio Update KB949325.

And complete for you !

Now, I using VS 2008 Professional on XP SP2 and Vista very cool.

Cheer.

Victoria Lee.

Ah yes. This is an issue with the chainer installer (it's pretty dumb). The problem is that it can't get over the fact that the patch may be installed already, and so it gives this message. Ideally, this would work fine if the chainer worked the first time you ran it, since you wouldn't have the KB otherwise. The SDK has a similar issue that we're trying to work around for Beta 2.

jamlew:
What do you mean? KB 949325 is included in the chainer and is required for working with Silverlight 2.

Do you remember this popular error when we got while installing SL2 Tool for VS?

An Error Has Occurred:
Silverlight Tools cannot be installed because one or more of the following conditions is true:
1. Visual Studio 2008 RTM is not installed.
2. The Web Authoring feature of Visual Studio is not installed.
3. A previous version of the Silverlight Runtime is installed.
4. A previous version of the Silverlight SDK is installed.
5. The Visual Studio Update KB949325 is installed.
6. A previous version of Silverlight Tools is installed.

If you have KB949325 and SL 2 (not just 1.0 or 1.1) SDK installed in your machine, you will get this error.
