Silverlight 2.0.31005.0 - new release - steps to follow for installation

Hi Friends,

Steps to follow for installing new version of Silvelright 2.0.31005.0:

Step 1 : Uninstall Microsoft Silverlight, Microsoft Silverlight Tools for VS2008, Microsoft Silvelright SDK

Step 2 : Uninstall expression blend 2.5 June Preview

Step 3 : Install sp1 for Visual Studio 2008

Step 4 : Install Silverlight Tools for VS 2008 SP1

Step 5 : Install Expression Blend 2 Trial version valid for 60 days, then you need a product key.

Step 6 : Install Expression Blend SP1

Now you are set to work with latest release of Silvelright. Good thing with the latest release is even you can setup for Visual Studio 2008 Web Express Edition by installing SP1 for the same.

Actually little bit of changes are done and new controls like preloaders, certain skins are changed , but so far the target was to close june preview version and add all to SP1 of VS and Blend. In turn to concentrate on sales of the product by Microsoft!

Anyways! I feel the workarea of Blend is much more faster comparitively.

Thanks!

Regards,

Muthaiah.
