I went back and edited the key within regedit, and clicked on the checkbox next to "Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all decendants with inheritable permissions from this object". After clicking Apply, I received the error:
Registry Editor could not set security in the key currently selected, or some of its subkeys.
Can someone tell me exactly, step-by-step what to do, if I'm doing something wrong?
I obviously was getting nowhere with Microsoft's own IE, so I switched to Firefox and Silverlight works great now. I've abandoned IE. Problem solved.
Go figure. A non Microsoft web browser works with Silverlight but IE doesn't. And there are
many other people are experiencing this same problem as well. With over a 1000 combined forum posts & 30,000+ page views on the subject of "Silverlight installation issues"....something is really wrong this this scenario, lol [sarcastic]
Only a handfull of people will actually report these problems (mainly software professionals). I can only imagine how many thousands of other users can't use Silverlight.
I'm a developer too but also a user... i'm having the same error and i'm on Vista Business with UAC disabled too and obviously IE7. Same installation troubles.
Sincerely... as developers i'm surely not going to leave Flash for Silverlight and as user i'm not going to see websites done using Silverlight... until installations issues still there!
Simplicity is all what users, and developers, ask! ...not registry, rights, installations, enable/disable, incompatibilities, change here, click there, etc etc!
As a user, if a thing don't work for me and don't start to work in a very short time, i'm not going to spend other time for it and i usualy don't use it anymore labeling it as "bad"! This is a way of thinking that is very used this times... hope you know it
well. [:)]
I also had trouble with Silverlight in Vista..... then thought, I'm using the 64 bit version...
I tried opening up the 32 bit IE7 (in the All Programs menu) and Silverlight was working perfectly!!!
I know this isn't a perfect solution, but if you're using Vista x64, when visiting Silverlight sites, open up 32 bit IE7 and drag the icon in the address bar from 64 to the tab in 32...
Works for me.

Well that's great for you (saying sincerely, not sarcasticly). I'm running 32bit Vista Business & IE7 as many other users having this same problem. I hope Microsoft staff are reading these posts and actively working on a fix/new installer.

That's all of the output.

The permissions don't stick... I have to reapply them all the time.
