You reached this page since you encountered problems with the installation of Microsoft Silverlight. In many cases these problems are due to incompatible browser and operating system or due to an old pre-release version of Silverlight. Please follow the
Uninstall Instructions to remove any previous versions from your system and then visit the
Silverlight Web site and install the latest version.
I had a similar problem installing siliverlight 3 toolkit into VS2008. Uninstalled VS2008 SP1 with Windows Install Clean Up tool (very cool tool by the way). Reinstalled VS2008 SP1 and then installed the silverlight toolkit and shazammmm. Thanks for
the info.

Download Microsoft Windows Installer Cleanup and remove Silverlight from the update stream.
Then, after restarting,
Downloaded the current version of Silverlight 2 and Install.
