Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 introduced a bug causing build errors when a web application references a Silverlight application.
Please vote up the issue here: MSBUILD : error : Copying file failed. Index (zero based) must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the size of the argument list
As a work-around, perform the following steps in the web application:

This may be caused by the compiler failing to load a 32-bit assembly reference when compiling the silverlight project targeting "Any CPU" in a 64-bit process. As a work-around, force MSBuild to load task assemblies in the x86 architecture:

I went to -in/windows-10/about in both browsers. In Chrome I could see the content on the webpage perfectly. In Firefox it asked me to install Microsoft Silverlight. I'm surprised that on Chrome it didn't ask me to install Silverlight.

From what I gather, pipelight runs silverlight using wine in the background somehow but this not only works, it works better than silverlight does in Windows and installs as a plugin to your linux browser (not a wine workaround). Tested on netflix and the timewarner cable tv app.

Never mind. I found the problem. I downloaded silverlight from a 32-bit version of IE and was trying to install it on a 64-bit workstation. A Google search allowed me to find the 64-bit download, which did the trick.
