I'm trying to install the sp1 for visual studio 2010. I first installed the beta and it worked fine. Then I used the web platform installer to install the SQL CE compact 4, which i assume installed the full sp1 after (this installation took over 12 hours, so i canceled it). Web platform installer told me that SP1 and silverlight 4 is installed.

Visual studio tells me sp1 was partially installed. So I downloaded the installer from the site and now it gives me this error:

Microsoft Silverlight 4 SDK - The feature you are trying to use is on a network resorce that is unavailable. Seeking application package 'silverlight_sdk.msi'.

Anyone else experienced this error?

This is just SO painful. You're also going to have to get the RiaServices.msi. There are multiple versions of that. You need WCF RIA Services V1.0 SP1 from microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=14880 – DOK Mar 22 '12 at 23:28

It's because Silverlight 4 isn't bundled with SP1 (apparently). Download Silverlight 4 tools, extract and point the SP1 error dialog to silverlight_sdk.msi. Should resolve it.

@tugberk_ugurl You can extract the contents of Silverlight4_Tools.exe using something like 7-Zip. – Cat Man Do Mar 19 '11 at 22:58

You can also extract the installation package by running the following in a command window: 'Silverlight4_Tools.exe /createlayout <path>'. Replace '<path>' with a temporary folder of your choice. – Glenn Apr 19 '11 at 6:16

I had problems with other missing MSIs so I downloaded the sp1 ISO from the following link, extracted it using WinRAR, and was able to locate the MSIs in the extracted files: link – Keith Apr 21 '11 at 15:04

I downloaded the offline installer and it worked fine.
