What Is The Latest Version Of Silverlight
Anais Wachowski
I have created a few lightswitch applications in VS2012 but I am running into an error when attempting to create a new one or open an existing lightswitch project. I receive a pop-up that says "unable to find a version of silverlight developer runtime installed".
The best way I have found to find the most current Silverlight 5 Developer Runtime or End-User Runtime, is to search the downloads for the latest Silverlight bits. All other suggestions seem to take you on a wild goose chase depending on what version of Visual Studio or OS you are using.
Hi, here in the UK Virgin Media is one of the main TV providers. And their web streaming service uses Silverlight (which is a safari extension). But after updating to Safari 12.0 the extension seems to have gone and after repeatedly reinstalling it seems to not be appearing. Does anyone know a work around for this as the "run in safe mode" option is no longer available in 12.0 (Microsoft Article)?
I have this issue as well. I've been trying to downgrade back to 11.1.2 to restore the functionality but so far have not been successful. I've got 11.1.2 running, but I can't get into preferences nor can I expand my safari window past a certain point horizontally anymore to make it take up more of the screen.
Our PACS (medical imaging viewing software) used Silverlight on the desktops (native iPad app on the iPads) and Safari 12.0 has removed support for Silverlight. Strangely, Adobe Flash seems to be unaffected.
I suspect the issue stems from this item that isn't seen unless you expand the Safari 12.0 update in the app store: "Improves security by discontinuing support for most NPAPI plugins". I'd wager that Microsoft Silverlight is an NPAPI plugin which explains why it no longer works.
After a bunch of work in the recovery console I was able to get 11.1.2 back up and running which restored Silverlight. However, I now get a frequent crash popup for "SafariBookmarksSyncAgent" quitting unexpectedly. While annoying, I don't use safari bookmarks, no less require them to be synchronized anywhere so I'll just move that popup window into the bottom corner of my screen and ignore it after each reboot. Super annoying, but at least I got the plugin back for now.
I've also reported this issue and thread to Apple's senior advisors in the hopes they can get some engineering eyeballs on it. However, I suspect they are going to say this is now Microsoft's responsibility to update Silverlight to not be an NPAPI plugin.
Please stop spreading incorrect information. First of all, the latest version of High Sierra is 10.13.6, not 10.13.1. And second of all, Safari version 12.0 has removed support for NPAPI plugins. This means Microsoft Silverlight will not work regardless of what version of macOS you are running so long as you are running Safari version 12.0 or greater.
Again, please stop spreading incorrect information. Safari version 12.0 has removed support for NPAPI plugins. This means Microsoft Silverlight will not work regardless of what version of macOS you are running so long as you are running Safari version 12.0 or greater.
Silverlight was also used by Amazon Video and Netflix for their instant video streaming services, but Netflix said in its Tech Blog in 2013 that, since Microsoft had announced Silverlight's end-of-life, they would be moving to HTML5 video.
Chrome & Firefox have both dropped support for Silverlight. Strange that it has worked in Safari for so long, and that Netflix et al haven't already moved on. I get a weird error code trying to access Netflix in Safari 12 here, plus references to HDCP, but it works perfectly in Chrome on the same machine. ?
I spoke with both Apple & Netflix last night. Apple says they gave Netflix & Microsoft plenty of time during the beta period to figure out how to make things work. Netflix says to use another browser. It seems few people, including Netflix support, realizes that Chrome & Firefox stream Netflix at 720p - Safari was the only way to get 1080p.
I found the answer to my HTML5 issue. Since Silverlight is a blocked plugin, the browser should default to HTML5, but it does not. The reason, as I've figured out, is that Apple uses the hardware API, so h.264 video decoding is done in hardware (the CPU), rather than software. Chrome & Firefox use the software API, so video decoding is done in software. Well, lucky me, still hanging onto my old 2010 Mac Pro with Westmere XEON's, which don't have h.264 decoding in the CPU. This was introduced in 2011's Sandy Bridge architecture. SO, if you have anything older than 2011-2012, no HTML5 Netflix decoding.
UPDATE: I just realised that the communities page I was looking at did not show me all replies, just the "most helpful" and at on September 18th onc_photo had already suggested this work around! I wish I noticed that earlier as it would have saved me an hour or so... !
I pushed out an update for silverlight yesterday, and a group is complaining it broke their app. So need to remove the current version of SL and install the previous one. I indexed the pkg and told casper to remove it, however, when I try to push the old version down it returns an error:
So I had this issue a while back and solved it by including a command in advanced or Files and Processes to search for file by path /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/PlayReady/mspr.hds then checking the checkbox to remove if found.
So, sometimes I try to figure this out by composing an installation of something I want to remove, just to see what it puts where. If nothing else, you can do like you did and build an uninstaller script based on that knowledge.

Silverlight is working at some of our locations, but at others it hangs at 100% when trying to load an internet based program. I have restarted the router and the computer, uninstalled and reinstalled Silverlight from the website, checked the URL to the site we need to use, and took it over to a location where it was connecting, but it did not connect there either. It does not give me an error message when it is hung.
Searching the web states a hang at 100% is usually caused by an unhandled exception error. Meaning an error occurred and the silverlight app has no idea what to do with this error, so it does nothing.
I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS 64-bit, which I installed using the original release (not the newer 12.04.2 release), and have been successfully using netflix-desktop ever since the ppa:ehoover/compholio repository was made available. I never encountered any problems, whatsoever, until a couple of days ago.
For those that don't like messing with the console, you can just go to your home directory and either click on "View" and check "Show Hidden Files", or just press Ctrl+H, then scroll down until you see the folder labeled ".wine-browser", perform a right mouse-click on the folder, and select "Move to Trash" from the resulting menu.
I don't think it is the silverlight update which does it. It is Firefox update. So press F11 to get into window mode. Then press F10. Go to Options/Preferences ->Advanced-> updates, then disable the automatic browser update.
I am using a SQL Server 2016 SP1 developer copy on a local machine not AZURE to learn MDS. Also, my client is WIN10 64-bit with Chrome & Edge and the latest version of SilverLight 5. I have uninstalled the SilverLight and reinstalled it. Upgraded to SP! and migrated the database to SP1. SilverLight blocks the preview mode. Not sure what to do next?

Thank you for your suggestion, it works as you stated with IE. I wanted to work with a the latest Microsoft browser which is the default for WIN10 as per this article and IE will be deprecated.. It is the work around that I needed but it is a glitch in the MDS product UI. Again, thanks.

Windows 10 represents a major revision of the client operating system; one major change is how we browse and experience the Internet. Windows 10 will include a new web browser called Microsoft Edge. This will be the new default web browser in Windows 10, replacing the well known Internet Explorer which will celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2015. Even though Microsoft will be the default web browser in Windows 10, Internet Explorer will still be around for legacy purposes. In this article, we take a look at how to access Internet Explorer if you still need to use it.
Please note, Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Pro LTSB (Long Term Service Branch) editions do not include Internet Explorer. Windows 10 LTSB editions are normally available to volume license customers. Your only option is to use a non LTSB version of Windows 10. This will require speaking with your IT department or Desktop Support Technician within your organization. Windows 10 LTSB editions do not include Microsoft Edge either. Phil Parkin
