Installing Silverlight to work with Visual Studio 2008 was quite a task, but I managed to finally get a project loaded after dealing with several errors including, “The project type is not supported by this installation.”
After reading through several blogs and forums, here are the steps I had to take to finally get a Silverlight project to open:
- Install Silverlight Alpha runtime
- Install the Silverlight 1.1 Alpha Software Development Kit
- Install the Silverlight 1.1Tools Alpha for Visual Studio 2008
I hope this information helps anyone attempting to make this install.
