I'm getting this error when I try to install Silverlight 2 Beta 1 Tools for Visual Studio 2008.
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.
To continue, please install or uninstall the appropriate products and run this installer again.
I made to sure to uninstall any previous Silverlight 1.0/1.1 things through Programs and Features. I have Visual Studio Team System 2008 RTM and Microsoft Visual Studio Web Authoring Component installed. I don't have KB949325 installed afaik .. would this
show up in Programs and Features?
I'm not sure what you meant by Step 4 Hotfix. I didn't see any executables in the folder with anything that looked like hotfix. But I'm not sure that matters because I'm now showing the tools as being installed.
Thank you so much for your quick reply. (I've marked as answer)
Damn, at first had same problem and solved it with way you described. Now, while creating new SL2 application in VS 2008 i getting this error:
Could not load type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Silverlight.IVsSilverlightService' from assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Application, Version=9.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'.
Seems that problem is global... it's interesting to know: are there any persons which have no problems with installing Tools for VS and creating project there...
I'm running VS Web Developer 2008 Express on Vista (no SP1) and can't get the tools to install into VS. The installer is not finding Express. SL2 and the SDK went in OK after following the suggestion above. Never had the update installed to begin with.

I have more detailed steps as to what I've done in a post on my blog.
I've exhausted all ideas for what to do to fix this problem. I really want to play with the labs and SDK! Can anyone help me please?

Hi Matt,
I have had the same problems. However, I overcame the problems by doing the following:

I and many in my team also encountered the error where the chained installer would not install after uninstalling the products it mentions...

The tools do not work on the Express versions. You must have Visual Studio 2008 standard or above installed: http://silverlight.net/GetStarted/
