Will Silverlight 5 still support OSX?
I noticed they have a Silverlight 5 beta developer runtime for Mac listed on the Silverlight download page, so I would say, yes its still supported.

I need to remote debug a Silverlight application that's running on a Mac. According to Microsoft's walkthrough I need to install the developer runtime on the Mac.
I've been Googling for a while now but I can't find an up to date version. This question has links to version 4 and a beta for version 5, but nothing for the current version.
Try this:
Silverlight 5 Developer Runtime for Mac OSX (32 bit)
I've been working on a Silverlight 5 RC project so far. After the official release of Silverlight 5 I installed the Silverlight 5 Tools and tested the application on another PC. The Silverlight plug-in gives me the following message:
This application was created for an expired beta release of Silverlight. Please contact the owner of this application and have them upgrade their application using an official release of Silverlight.
It works fine in my development environment. The project settings target Silverlight 5. I use a library compiled for Silverlight 4 or 5 RC. The Silverlight plug-in on the other PC is up-to-date (Silverlight 5 not 5 RC). I searched the project files and setting but found nothing explicitly pointing to or depending on Silverlight 5 RC. I have no reason to think that the application is actually compiled as a Silverlight 5 RC application.
What could cause this problem and how can I fix it?
All you got to do is download Silverlight 5 official release and rebuild your project.
Here is a link to my previous post with all the Silverlight 5 download links
I have a Silverlight 3 application that contains 1 code line (it's a part of real project):
var doc = HtmlPage.Document;
In Safari 5.1 (Windows 7 SP1, Silverlight plugin 5.0.61118.0) I get the Exception in this line:
Unable to cast object of type System.Windows.Browser.HtmlElement to type System.Windows.Browser.HtmlDocument
So, I don't have any access to browser DOM model.
In other browsers everything is ok.
Can somebody help me with this if it's possible ?
I have the same problem, it seems to only occur on Safari for Windows with the Silverlight plugin 5.0.61118.0. The problem seems to have been introduce with Silverlight 5.0.
Also, you cannot access: HtmlPage.Window
According to Microsoft officially Safari for Windows is not a support platform, see:
http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx (click System Requirements)
In my testing I found that the issue does NOT occur in Silverlight 4 but DOES occur in Silverlight 5.
This is slightly confused because if you try to install Silverlight 4 on Safari for Windows from this link:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=4.0
Then you end up with a Silverlight 5 installation.
I found that you use IE to visit this link then Save the download EXE, then install the EXE on Safari for Windows you will get a Silverlight 4 install and from my testing this works. Thus, I am advising my customers who face this issue to install Silverlight 4 as described.
Try this and see if this works (my application uses the navigation framework):
As the error has something to do with the NavigationJournal and in SL we have some control over it I just changed the Journal ownership to:
sdk:Frame JournalOwnership="OwnsJournal"
On the MainPage.xml where the navigation takes place in my app. In this way we lose the browsers back button/navigation but we can implement our own inside the SL app.
With SL plugin 5.0.60818.0 I get an error when I open this page:
http://demos.telerik.com/silverlight/#Docking/FirstLook
(I hope someone from telerik sees this).
I uninstalled SL 5 and reinstalled SL 4, and the page opens fine.
Is there some way I can have both SL 4 and SL 5 runtimes installed, and just configure my browser to use the one I want?
The SL4 and SL5 SDK's can live side-by-side, why not the plugins?
Not on the same OS. You can create a Virtual Machine using Microsoft Virtual PC and use that for one of the plug-ins.
I'm trying to run a sivlerlight website in Windows 7 64-bit. I have VS 2008 SP1 and downloaded silverlight 3 SDK. It installed succesfully and everything, but I'm getting this error when I try to compile:
"unable to start debugging the silverlight managed debugging package isn't installed"
Any help?
Thanks!
You need more than the SDK to debug silverlight, the Silverlight Tools for Silverlight 3 which also includes the version of the runtime that is debuggable.
You may also need to install the Silverlight 4 developer runtime, since its quite likely you will run into a site the requires silverlight 4 but installing the standard 4 runtime will put you at square one.
This is the link to the silverlight 4 dev runtime:-
