    Silverlight version problem

    May 20, 2009 09:04 AM | LINK

    Hi all.

    I have built a Silverlight that appears to require Silverlight version 3.0 to run on a users machine.

    Is there any way I can 'roll back' my app so it only requires version 2.0 as users currently have to manually install Silverlight 3 beta to run it.

    I have tried changing the 'MinimumVersion' property to 2.0 but this does not seem to help.

    Any help would be grately appreciated.

    Check out this article which teaches you exactly how to do that

    http://blogs.msdn.com/amyd/archive/2009/03/18/switching-from-silverlight-3-tools-to-silverlight-2-tools.aspx

    You'd need to downgrade your SL project from SL3 beta to SL2, and downgrade the SL tool from SL3 to SL2.  This can be accomplished using a script provided.

    Once you are done, you can upgrade the SL tool from SL2 to SL3.

    The upgrade/downgrade takes a few minutes (basically uninstall/reinstall).  I have done it before and I know the script works like a charm.
