    Web Platform Installer thinks VS2008 is not installed.

    Feb 19, 2010 06:28 PM | LINK

    Hi there,

    I am new to Silverlight(but not to .net :P), I have VS2008 SP1 installed, however when I try and install the Silverlight toolkit via the Web Platform Installer, I get an error saying that VS is not installed.

    How can I fix this?

    Visual studio 2008 Web Platform Install Silver light 3

    I would reinstall VS 2008 sp1 and try installing the silverlight tools again.
