Alluy Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 HelloEvery time I try to install Silverlight, this comes up, and I don't know how to fix it.Yes, it is the right folder...Yes, I have completely uninstalled all "leftovers" from older silverlight versions.And Yes, i have tried fixing this myself, but i can't seem to figure this one out.I'm going to take you through the process:I click download on the silverlight page, and the file downloads just fine. As i open the Silverlight installer, it asks me, as shown in the picture, to locate Silverlight.msi. The folder the .msi file is in, is a bit strange though. It has this little "lock" over it, as if it's locked or something. I don't know what this means, i don't even know if that's the problem. But then as i press ok, this comes up (Still referring to the attached picture)I really need this program ASAP.Thank you-Alluy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I am too nervous about downloading and opening unknown files from an unknown source with unknown consequences to my computer - for obvious security reasons.I trust others might be more brave and able to help.

Simply clicking it should let you watch it. But hey, thanks anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 AlluySorry - I missed my aim and my reply was intended for another thread. You are quite right - your picture is quite safe and I am sorry that I am not able to offer a solution other than to use System Restore to go back to a time before any corruption occurred.

-pops- Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 AlanHo's advice is good -System Restore or you could reload from your full system backup (don't tell me, you don't have one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then type the file path into the bottom box after the c:\ prompt. Click OK and it should then find the installation package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 You could try to install Silverlight via Windows Update (Optional Software). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
