Silverlight 4 SDK

I have to modify a very legacy Silverlight 4 application in VS2012.
But I cannot found where can I download SL4 SDK.
Does somebody know where could I find it?
Unfortunately it is not an option to upgraded it to SL5.

It looks like the WayBack Machine has it.

I have confirmed that the Tools download has the SDK in it.
From the Microsoft search results:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/search.aspx?q=silverlight&first=21
You take the bad URL:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18149
To the way back machine, it will point you in the right direction.
The accepted answer actually provides a link to Silverlight 4 tools for VS2010 but I needed Silverlight 4 SDK
I found this link https://download.microsoft.com/download/B/9/B/B9BDD218-6974-4816-A309-0FC85A105521/sdk/silverlight_sdk.exe, it's not valid anymore but using Wayback Machine I was able to get that file. Here is the link https://web.archive.org/web/20151018151935/https://download.microsoft.com/download/B/9/B/B9BDD218-6974-4816-A309-0FC85A105521/sdk/silverlight_sdk.exe

VS 2010 SP1 Forcing Silverlight Upgrade

On our developer machines, we have Silverlight 4 installed. We upgraded to VS 2010 SP1, and now our Silverlight projects won't open; it is prompting us that we need to install the newer version of Silverlight, and takes us to a link to download Silverlight 5.
We are not ready to go to Silverlight 5 yet, and need to be able to open up our Silverlight 4 projects in VS 2010 SP1.
Any suggestions?
This sounds like it may be a duplicate of this question, but since you say you had Silverlight 4 installed before it may not be.
I recently rebuild my development machine and ran into a similar problem, but closer to that other question. Ultimately, I found this blog post, which led me to a installer for Silverlight 4 Developer Runtime.
There was one issue the author mentioned, that I have not run into yet:
I have noticed a large number of people hitting this page. Well,
let me help you guys out a little more. It turns out that EVERY time
Microsoft decides to update the Silverlight runtime. A patch, string
change, someone looked at it wrong, the Developer runtime gets
invalidated.
You will need to reinstall it each time. So make sure you keep it
handy! Thanks Microsoft for such a wonder feature. I love reinstalling
things every week.
EDIT:
I ran into the issue mentioned above and reinstalling the Silverlight 4 Developer Runtime did not fix the issue for me. I ended up installing the Silverlight 5 Developer Runtime (32 bit, 64 bit), which I obtained from this page, and that fixed the issue.

Silverlight 3 - Visual Studio Tools

I am trying to get started doing some Silverlight development. I am interested in learning about the out-of-browser support. I can create and run Silverlight 3 applications just fine. I have confirmed that I have Silverlight 3 instead of Silverlight 3 Beta. I have been able to confirm this because my API list includes Application.InstallStateChanged instead of Application.ExecutionStateChanged.
However, I do not have the option to enable my application to run offline in Visual Studio. I can see this option in this blog post (http://johnpapa.net/silverlight/updated-silvertwit-code-for-msdn-magazine/). Unfortunately, I do not have the option shown or the Reduce XAP size option. I have downloaded the Visual Studio tools from here (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9442b0f2-7465-417a-88f3-5e7b5409e9dd&displaylang=en).
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!
It looks like John Papa is using a new version of visual studio possibly the VS2010 beta.

Corrupted Install
It looks like a corrupted install. Try uninstalling and then see Allen Chen's advice here:
http://silverlight.net/forums/t/83226.aspx including:
Silverlight3_Tools.exe /x:c:\temp /u to manually extract the SL 3 files and c:\temp\SPInstaller.exe to verify the tools install.
Use Blend
Also, If you have Blend 3 installed (preview here) you can enable Out of the Browser inside of Blend. See Project->Silverlight Project Options.
One thing might be that your Silverlight developer runtime got corrupted/overwritten. Try installing it once and see if it solves...

Best practices around Silverlight 2 GDR 1?

I noticed a few tweets this morning about a new version of Silverlight having been released - Silverlight 2 GDR 1 (2.0.40115.0). Details of what/why/should I target it/is it backward compatible/etc seem incredibly thin on the ground.
Hitting this Silverlight page on Microsoft.com tells me my version (RTW) is now out of date and I should upgrade to GDR 1. But hitting silverlight.net - there's no mention of it, the Silverlight elements on the page don't tell me my version is out of date and the Getting Started page still links to RTW tools.
This kinda leads me to presume that if you upgrade your dev tools to target the GDR release, then your users will need to upgrade their Silverlight install also?
A few details on what's in GDR can be found in the release notes - but it sure would be nice if Microsoft would clarify it's purpose and suggested adoption. Anyone got any more details?
Tim Heuer explains all: http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2009/02/19/silverlight-2-gets-minor-update-gdr1.aspx
It seems to be only bug fixing.
So if your applications (so your users) are not concerned by those bugs, it is not mandatory to update your plugin for the moment.

Is it possible to develop with Silverlight on a Mac?

I've been searching through the Microsoft Silverlight site, and I am guessing the answer to my question will be no.
But is there any non official or official version of the Silverlight development SDK for Mac OS?
I want to avoid installing Windows, but I want to develop in Silverlight.
The answer is yes, you surely can. You will need to use eclipse. It isn't as easy, but it sure is possible.
Good luck!

There is also MonoDevelop which is going to support it soon, but its not quite there.
Assuming the answer you get does turn out to be "No"...
I use a VM (Parallels) to run Windows XP on my Mac Pro. The performance of Visual Studio 2008 is actually fine in this setup.
I'm using Mac OS X to develop with Silverlight 3, using IronRuby and IronPython and TextMate. It is very pleasant to use!
You can grab the Silverlight 3 Beta Runtime for Mac here and use it together with AgDlr. Grab the binaries of AgDlr here.
If you want to see samples of code that do work this way, have a look at AgDlr demos.
hope this helps!
