Group Policy Settings for Silverlight 4 – FIXED

Mon, 06 Jun 2011 13:29:23 +0000

On the Microsoft Silverlight website you will find a page that describes the available Group Policy Settings for Silverlight as well as the content for the ADMX and ADML file. But… it doesn’t work because the code on the web contains a bug and a section is missing.

Within the silverlight.admx there is an unnecessary space and within the silverlight.amdl the section for SET_ALLOW_MAXIMUM_ISOLATED_STORAGE and ALLOW_MAXIMUM_ISOLATED_STORAGE_HELP is completely missing.

To get the Silverlight GPO working remove the space from ALLOW_MAXIMUM_ISOLATED_STORAGE_HELP and add the following section to the silverlight.adml file.

Microsoft Silverlight 3 Silent Installation

Fri, 04 Sep 2009 13:17:43 +0000

This morning I integrated Microsoft Silverlight 3 into our Windows 7 build. Since we use an automated image build process, i prepared the Silverlight package for a silent install.

Here’s what you need to do to run a silent Silverlight 3 installation:

Download the latest Silverlight installation package from the Silverlight website.
You will get a silverlight.exe. Run silverlight.exe /x to extract the content
Now extract the silverlight.msp from the silverlight.7z file (you can use the free 7-Zip tool to do that).
