I need a direct download link to microsoft silverlight 32bit please.

my version's out dated and I am having the devil's own time finding an up to date version.

I think that this may help
Get Silverlight | Microsoft Silverlight

ya.. that keeps offering up the x64 version.. for a browser that is 32 bit... even though the OS itself is x64....

which is annoying.

Bottom of the page. It says suppport 64 bit and 86 (86 is actually 32). I know its nuts, but I dont make up these things.

 

[richc46]

Bottom, after you click on top tab requirements.

....I'm not making this up. it keeps giving me the x64 version when I click the link.

the x64 version says my vista installation isnt x64 when it is.. so I've been using the 32 bit, and it wont give me the installer for the 32 bit version.

Go to search by the start button, type internet explorer. YOu will get a choice 64 bit or 32 bit. Try the one that they are asking for.

I use mozilla firefox.... as is listed in my system specs. its right at the bottom of my post on the left hand pane.

firefox is 32bit only. I refuse to use internet explorer except for when the hp remote assistant needs it up to access my computer which has only ever happened once.

whoopsies... I forgot to add that to other info.

updated.

You shouldn't have a problem running Silverlight 64-bit on Mozilla. Have you tried it?

 

[xraiderv1]

yes.. 6 months ago when I last had this problem.

 

[xraiderv1]

and I encountered the same problem.

problem is.. I didnt bookmark the link I discovered the last time.. shame on me for not doing that.

What happens when you use the 64-bit?

 

[xraiderv1]

what do you mean what happens when I use it.. I run the installer, it tells me my system isnt a 64 bit system/os.. when a quick check of the specs reveals.. its a 64 bit system.

so, no install, means I am at present stuck on the old version of silverlight.... and I'd really like to stay current on that.

hence.. my request for a link to the 32bit installer download, and I have already checked every inch of the silverlight site.. every download link I've clicked pops up a download for the 64 bit system.. and firefox is a 32 bit browser.. add to it the obvious refusal of the 64 bit version to install..

Try having windows update install it.

 

[xraiderv1]

because I like to update my browser plugins manually is why. that way I can abort an update on a suspect version.. like I did the one installation of flash because it didnt install right on my stepfather's computer.

 

[xraiderv1]

aborting a windows update installed update.. is an exercise in pain, I've found.
