Folks, I'm getting a weird conflict running Silverlight 5 apps on Windows 8. In the Metro shell's browser it knows I don't have SL5 installed on the first visit and asks me to install a file (with x64 in the name). It then flips over to the old shell and installs the file okay. Now SL5 is working in IE10 in the old shell, but the Metro browser keeps asking me to install Silverlight over and over, and if you do it says "another version is already installed".
So there is a catch-22 dead-end. Some web searches hint that SL5 is not supported in the Windows 8 Metro browser. I could not believe this would be true. Is it, or am I missing some trick? Greg
