RE: 16/32 bit plugin
Man, I must have been in a time-warp in my head by writing 16/32 bit. Luckily 8-bit was before my time. The IBM mainframe was 32-bit, but they only used 24 bits for addresses until they ran out of space and had to permanently borrow the other 8 bits. Luckily 64KB of RAM was plenty. > AFAIK, there is no 64-bit version of the Silverlight plugin available, > hence what you're downloading and installing is the 32-bit version, Good grief! Is this right? Maybe I heard this once but it went in one ear and out the other. I can't run Silverlight 4 on a 64-bit IE?! Even worse, you just reminded me that I have to migrate my SL4 app to Sl5 sometime soon, that'll be fun.

Re: 16/32 bit plugin
Oops, I stand corrected. Looks like 64-bit support was one of the things Silverlight 5 brought us. 32-bit - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=229320 64-bit - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=229321 Haven't tried it yet though; maybe someone else could chime in.
