Organizational Use

If you are an organization using Chocolatey, we want your experience to be fully reliable. Due to the nature of this publicly offered repository, reliability cannot be guaranteed. Packages offered here are subject to distribution rights, which means they may need to reach out further to the internet to the official locations to download files at runtime.

Fortunately, distribution rights do not apply for internal use. With any edition of Chocolatey (including the free open source edition), you can host your own packages and cache or internalize existing community packages.

You will have to quit the browser to follow the instructions, so you might want to download the PDF.

Updating Silverlight to the current version requires first removing any older version. These instructions will take you through the steps of removal and installation for Windows 7, Windows XP, and Mac.

Silverlight 5 Plugin

PC

If you're not sure whether you have Windows 7 or XP, there's a quick test: if you have a 'Start' menu button on the lower left it's Windows XP, a round button with a Windows icon instead of a word indicates Windows 7.

Windows XP

  1. From your Start menu select 'Control Panel' (or 'Settings→Control Panel').
  2. Double-click on 'Add or Remove Programs.' If you don't see that option, click on 'Switch to Classic View,' over on the left.
  3. Be patient as the list of programs is filled in. When it's done, find 'Microsoft Silverlight' in the list, and click 'Remove.'
  4. Answer any confirmation prompts, and allow the program to be removed.
  5. Close up the Control Panel and start up Firefox.
  6. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/get-started/install/default.aspx.
  7. Click on the install button, and save the file.
  8. When the download is complete, double-click it in your Downloads window, and confirm that you want to install it.
  9. Close out of Firefox.
  10. From the Start menu select 'All Programs→Microsoft Silverlight/Microsoft Silverlight.'
  11. Click on 'Application Storage' and ensure that the 'Application Storage' checkbox is checked, and close out of Silverlight.
  12. Start up Firefox again, and select 'Tools→Clear Recent History.' (If you only have one 'Firefox' menu, instead select 'Firefox→History→Clear Recent History…'.)
  13. Select 'Everything' for the time range to clear.
  14. If you don't see a listing with checkboxes below, click on the black 'Details' triangle to show them.
  15. Uncheck everything except 'Cache,' and click 'Clear Now.' That's it; you're all set!

Note: If you finish this and it still appears that Firefox doesn't have Silverlight installed, go to Firefox's Tools→Add-Ons menu, select 'Plugins' from the left, and make sure that Silverlight is enabled.
