Silverlight 5.1.20125.0 plugin for Firefox needs a disc?
Before posting this, I searched on what I thought was relevant keywords & found nothing relevant in the way of answers among the 129 results I got. So I hope this isn't a duplicate or something that will end up being answered with a response like, "Oh, go look at this Tutorial at http://whatever." I hate when that happens.
So Firefox pushed out version 20.0.1 a few hours ago. I decided to get Firefox to check my Add-ons for updates to my existing plugins. One that was flagged was Silverlight. So I downloaded it & started to execute it. It started bopping along & it came to a screen demanding a Silverlight disc. A disc? Are you serious? Silverlight has its own disc? When did that happen? Of course, I've never heard of such a thing so I had to just cancel the install.
Well, I suppose Silverlight is a rather low-priority plugin & I can probably live with the "faulty" one I've got now. Or live without the feature entirely. But I'd sure like to know where such a disc can be procured. For free, of course. Failing that, how can I trick the install into finding what it needs already on my hard drive? Like just about every other bit of maintenance I've ever done.
I vacillated between posting this in this Forum & in the Browser Forum. I hope I made the right choice.
