Does not recognize Silverlight 4.0 Install

Question

I am running Win 7 64-bit. I a running IE 9 beta (9.0.7930.16406 )I upgraded to Silverlight 4.0 and for some reason now it does not recognize that I have it installed when I go to Silverlight required web sites.

In my control panel – it clearly states that I have 4.0 installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled this as well. However when I go to sites that require silverlight it does not recognize that have Silverlight installed. And of course when I try to click on install Silverlight I get the following error: "The same version of silverlight is installed"

Interesting information – I was able to create another account on my computer and get things working. So this is something tied to my login ID. And yes I am admin on this box.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Are you launching the 32-bit or the 64-bit Internet Explorer process? Silverlight only works in 32-bit browsers.
