I keep seeing Silverlight (spam?) on the aggregators, etc. and I go to check out links (keynote video, showcases, etc) and in OS X and XP proper, I cannot get Silverlight (any flavor) to actually install. When I go back to the URLs after installing, I still get the damned detection screen asking me to install Silverlight.

I don't care if many consider Silverlight internet gold, if I can't install it, it's simply a piece of shit to me. If you can't get the installer to work with Firfox, then I'll punt. I've tried so many freaking times now, its utterly annoying and I'm frustrated to the point where I almost don't care. Put up screenshots so we can at least see some of your Silverlight work, okay?

“I hear you. I had an earlier version of Silverlight that it will now not let me uninstall. It keeps claiming that I need to uninstall it before upgrading but there is no entry in the Add/Remove Programs dialog and I can't remove it. On my home computer I got it installed and can be removed but I get the same issue as you: Continually asking me to install Silverlight. A quick check of Firefox's about:plugins page shows that it is installed. I am very displeased with Silverlight as well.”
