Silverlight 5 runtime problems - Favour
There is a bug in the Silverlight 5 runtime that may trigger AccessViolationException, hosing the whole app when PropertyChanged event is fired. This occurs even if you compile the application for Silverlight 4 and the client had upgraded to Silverlight 5. Since PropertyChanged is literally everywhere, it is a matter of time before it occurs on *your* application. (It happened to mine, and costed a whole day working around it for a single screen) Could you please vote this issue up? https://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/719572 Thanks.

Re: you need to install the latest silverlight developer runtime (solved)
Ah good, you're sorted. I'd still have a look at installing the Silverlight 5 tools. Absolutely brilliant, being able to put breakpoints on your bindings. *EVEN with SL4 projects!* Just do it. You can thank me later. :) If you don't like it you can always go back to the 4 dev runtime now you found it. The time you save next time you debug a binding will make up for it.

Re: you need to install the latest silverlight developer runtime
Oh and I might add, as a bonus, I can put breakpoints in my SL4 xaml and using the SL5 tools debug (it breaks on them!) and its invaluable for debugging whats going on with your bindings. Honestly I've no idea how I lived without that.

Re: you need to install the latest silverlight developer runtime
You could try a system rollback. As far as I know you should be able to install the Silverlight 5 developer runtime and run your Silverlight 4 project in it, with no obvious difference. That's what I currently have running on my machine. Our project is a Silverlight 4 app and I have all of the Silverlight 5 tools and dev runtime etc installed. I can create a SL5 app if I need to but working on the SL4 app is also possible (and will deploy fine to anyone running the SL4 runtime). It sounds like your problem is that you installed the SL5 runtime, not the developer runtime. There's a difference there. You may also be able to install the SL4 developer runtime but I'm not sure where you'd get that from (it may still be available for download, or alternatively an old download laying around). Sounds like the SL4 SDK doesn't include the developer runtime.

RE: you need to install the latest silverlight developer runtime (solved)
I don't exactly know what I was doing, but I stumbled upon a link to the SL(4?) dev runtime http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188039 I installed this and my developer V4 runtime is back again. What gets me is that I meticulously keep my installers in folders and I have no history of this file or a similar one. I assumed the dev runtime was a part of the SDK, but it doesn't seem to be. It's been over a year since I setup this dev machine, perhaps my memory is erasing about how I got SL4 working. What a mess.

you need to install the latest silverlight developer runtime
Sometime yesterday I wanted to watch a video and I was asked to install the latest Silverlight, stupidly I said yes. It seems to have been V5 I installed. Now I can't open any SL4 projects due to: "you need to install the latest silverlight developer runtime". So from Programs and Features I uninstalled Silverlight (V5), but it makes no difference. So bumbling around as usual I just uninstalled-reinstalled SL4 SDK but it makes no difference. I have absolutely no clue about what to do, neither does anyone else from looking at web searches. It's been 45 minutes now, and I have no clues or ideas about what to do to get my dev environment back the way it was yesterday morning. Any ideas?
