When I try to debug a silverlight application in VS2010 I get a message "Unable to start debugging. The Silverlight Developer Runtime is not installed. Please install a matching version."
I have installed the silverlight sdk 4, I also have sdk 3, and 2. I also have the silverlight tools and toolkit installed as well.
If I open the same solution in Expression blend it builds just fine. Please not this is a core basic silverlight application, meaning all it has is a blue rectangle on it to test installation.
I can't seem to figure out where / what needs to be reinstalled / the order. Any advice?
Any idea where the standalone install is? When trying to search / look for it the developer runtime, it keeps pointing me to the silverlight 4 tools download, which when installing says it is installing but with no luck, apparently. Should I look at reinstalling
VS2010? and trying it again? Hate to have to go through that again if it is something simple.
The "Silverlight managed debugging package" is part of the developer runtime, not the SDK or Tools. Make sure you have the latest version of the developer runtime installed (available at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188039)

it doesn't work for me, it says I have a newer version installed. but VS debugging doesn't work - it doesn't attach to the process, but the xap runs fine.
I dislike the version policy of silverlight,actually.
my situation is that our company not allow bussiness guys to install software themselves, which include Silverlight runtime,so it's very hard for us development team to upgrade our develop enviroments ,such as install vs2010 SP1. hate that.

Hi Mtcoder,
Download the SL4 developer runtime(Matching your version of SDK) from Microsoft site and install. That would solver your issue.
HTH. Mark as answered if that helps. :-)

Tried to uninstall VS2010 and removed all of the silverlight tools / toolkits / WCF items, and did a full reinstall a 2nd time. Same issue.
Is there something to do with having older silverlight 3 versions installed? Odd thing is it works perfectly in Expression Blend.

Well after some more Googling I figured it out. There are 2 versions of the Silverlight browser runtime. One for end-users and one for developers.
The standard Silverlight 4 you install from MS does not work for debugging. Have to download it from here.
