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
