Silverlight problem on windows server 2003 - silverlight

I have installed silverlight 2 on windows server 2003. but when I browse silverlight sites, nothing is shown. Please help me?

On windows 2003 the first thing I look at when there is a problem like that is to look at the browser permissions relating to the site. It could be that your IE settings won't allow it to use the silverlight control.

Make sure that you've installed the Silverlight plugin in your browser. It doesn't have anything to do with Windows Server 2003 OS, as it is a cross-platform, cross-browser .NET plugin.
If you are using the IE7 browser and having problems then you may want to check out this thread on the Silverlight forums "Silverlight will not work with IE 7"

It turns out that a firewall software causes this problem.

Issue involving Silverlight on Windows 10

After installing Windows 10 and then going to my website, that uses Silverlight, I find that Microsoft Edge does not support Silverlight. Has Microsoft killed Silverlight? Is there any way to run Silverlight in some add-in that will run in Edge? I have a lot of code invested in Silverlight. Is my only option to rewrite all of my apps? In What? HTML 5 and javascript?
I can't seem to install IE 11 on windows 10.
Has Microsoft killed Silverlight?
They have killed it for Edge. While you can keep using it in IE 11 and other out-of-browser apps, Microsoft is really discouraging it.

Within Edge, click the ... in the top right corner. Choose Open with Internet Explorer.
Is my only option to rewrite all of my apps? In What? HTML 5 and javascript?
In the short term, you could encourage users to click on Open with Internet Explorer. In the long term it's HTML5 and JavaScript including DASH, MSE, CENC, and EME.
DASH. Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP.
MSE. Media Source Extensions.
CENC. Common Encryption.
EME. Encrypted Media Extensions.

Accessing Windows Phone 7 database externally

I've just started working on Windows Phone. Can anyone help me access my project database?
I've tried with ISETool.exe
I did this:
ISETool.exe ts xd 77a80316-355d-40dc-a8c3-c4054676e85c "C:\Users\user\Desktop\isostore"
but I'm getting an error in cmd:
The application is not installed
I've also tried using WP7 Isolated Storage Explorer from:
http://wp7explorer.codeplex.com/
But it doesnt see any devices or emulators.
It's Windows Phone 7 project. I've opened it in Visual Studio 2012 running on Windows 8.
It's frustrating loosing so much time on such a basic thing. Please help!
I've had success with Windows Phone Power Tools in the past. Even though the project is labeled "for WP8" it still works with 7.5 on Windows 8 with the WP8 SDK installed.

debug an xbap on firefox?

I am starting to write an xbap (wpf web app).
I create a new project and run it and Firefox fails (it just keeps trying to open it with "Windows Presentation Foundation Host).
I know that Firefox and Microsoft don't really see eye to eye, but surely there is a way to do this now days?
Saw this post that shows a hack of copying out a DLL from a Windows XP machine. But my users will not do that (I don't even want to do that!)
Does this mean I have to abandon Firefox as my default browser until I am done developing my xbap?
NOTE: I am using Windows 7 and Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate and Firefox 3.6.12
I don't know what exactly your problem is, but here is a Scott Hanselman blog post detailing a WPF application deployed as an XBAP (not XBAB) using VS 2008 with .NET 3.5. It doesn't say anything about WPF 4 (and the .NET 4 runtime, the post is from 2008) or what version of Firefox he was playing with but I hope this demonstrates it is possible and gives you a starting point for more detailed investigations.
Edit - Well, I should have dug a little deeper. It appears that Windows 7 won't support XBAPs in FireFox. There is a Firefox Add-on to Support XBAPs and Loose XAML that is installed with the .NET 3.5 runtime but it is not included in Windows 7 and this link suggests it can't be installed on Windows 7.
You could run IE Tab Plus (Firefox plug-in) and get it to default to IE when you open something from the localhost.

Does not recognize Silverlight 4.0 Install

I am running Win 7 64-bit. I a running IE 9 beta (9.0.7930.16406 )I upgraded to Silverlight 4.0 and for some reason now it does not recognize that I have it installed when I go to Silverlight required web sites.
In my control panel – it clearly states that I have 4.0 installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled this as well. However when I go to sites that require silverlight it does not recognize that have Silverlight installed. And of course when I try to click on install Silverlight I get the following error: "The same version of silverlight is installed"
Interesting information – I was able to create another account on my computer and get things working. So this is something tied to my login ID. And yes I am admin on this box.
Any ideas?
Are you launching the 32-bit or the 64-bit Internet Explorer process? Silverlight only works in 32-bit browsers.

Does anyone know of an IE7 emulator?

I'm on Mac running parallels with windows XP and IE8 installed. The options I find either don't work with my version of Firefox or dont install correctly on the windows side. Do you know of any emulators for internet explorer?
What I'm looking for is to emulate websites in ie7 and ie6 to check. I know of IE=EmulateIE7 but will that force all users in IE8 to view in IE7? I'd rather fix my code than force someone to view in a different mode...
SuperPreview in Expression Blend can do that. See this answer.
Alternatively, you can create another Windows XP image with just IE6 and run it using Parallels.
IETester is the way to go. IE 5.5, 6, 7, 8 in one package.
Try using one of Microsoft's VirtualPC images for IE7. They give them away for free but they expire every couple of months.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=21EABB90-958F-4B64-B5F1-73D0A413C8EF&displaylang=en
You can download VirtualPC in Windows. It will probably run really slow in Parallels but you could also use Boot Camp and then run VirtualPC.
http://spoon.net/browsers/ is very handy too.
VPC is really the way to go, get the images from microsoft.
If you're already running Parallels, I'd suggest just using another VM for XP + IE7. It's the cleanest solution and provides the most reliable IE7 'emulation'.
