can't extract self-extracting cabinet silverlight.exe
I want to install Silverlight on a Windows xp sp3 machine. I downloaded
silverlight.exe. The problem is that i can't extract that file: when i doubleclick, there appears a window, that disappears immediately (i have no time to read what appears). I have executed 'msiexec' from the dos-prompt and i get no errors (windows installer is version 3.xxxx). In Msconfig, the Service 'Windows Installer' is flagged. I have administrator rights. Is the problem Windows Installer or the software to extract the file? Is installing a newer version of Windows installer the solution? I found 'WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86.exe' on the website of Microsoft. But maybe i will have the same problem to use that file: is it also a self-extracting cabinet (like silverlight.exe)? Or have i to reinstall servicepack3? Hugo |

I had a client inadvertently install it, and it took me a couple hours of online research, and over two hours "on site" to fix all the problems Silverlight caused on his system. What a nightmare.
