Google Chrome Silverlight Download: A Step-by-Step Guide to Installation

In the past, users who followed prompts to download and install Silverlight from Google Chrome would see the same prompt again on subsequent visits to the page. This gave the impression that nothing had changed, but in reality, Silverlight wouldn't work by default. The reason behind this is that in April, Google disabled support for NPAPI plugins in Chrome by default.

To ensure a smooth installation process, it's essential to verify your setup by visiting the Silverlight site and experiencing the service firsthand. If you encounter any issues or need installation support, visit our dedicated support page.

If you have previously installed Silverlight or are using Mozilla Firefox, you will need to restart your browser before proceeding. To initiate the installation process, click on the 'Install now' button after reviewing the license agreement and privacy statement.

When prompted for security permissions, make sure you have sufficient administrative privileges to install Silverlight (4.0). The download will be completed, and the browser will prompt you again to run the installer. You'll then be asked whether to run or save the installation file (Silverlight.exe).

Before proceeding with the installation, ensure that your Windows operating system is compatible with Silverlight and that you have uninstalled any previous version of the software. Follow these steps carefully, and you should be able to resolve any issues you may encounter.

By following this step-by-step guide, you'll be able to successfully install Silverlight on your Google Chrome browser.
