Uninstall Silverlight SDK RTM before installing VS 2010 Beta 2


If you have the Silverlight 3 SDK RTM version (not the GDR) installed on your box you will need to first uninstall it before running Visual Studio 2010 beta 2 setup.

This is irrespective of the SDK language version or platform. The SDK GDR does not install on top of the RTM version of the SDK. This problem should be remedied by RTM.

If you proceed with install in this state you will get an error at the end of install stating that the SDK failed to install. This error does not affect your setup of beta 2 for Visual Studio but you will still need uninstall to SDK RTM and re-install the SDK GDR if you wish to get the latest version of the SDK.

To uninstall the RTM version of the SDK:

  1. Go to your Add/Remove programs.
  2. Select Microsoft Silverlight 3 SDK.
  3. Right click on it and choose uninstall from the context menu.

At this point you can proceed with installation of Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 which can be downloaded from here.

Note that you can install the SL3 GDR SDK directly from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=1ea49236-0de7-41b1-81c8-a126ff39975b.

Thank you,
