Running IE 7 x64. “Hey, we want you to install Silverlight as part of a beta.” Sure. Why not. Since I’m Vista InUltimate x64, and obviously no one outside of Microsoft uses this, and I really doubt about its distribution within Microsoft…the more testing, the merrier.
Download, no problems. Run, no problems. It says to restart browser. I do. But first…I cut/paste the URL of the last page I was at, just to be sure I can get back to it. Close IE 7 x64. Start IE 7 x64. Paste in page URL. No change. It doesn’t recognize that Silverlight has been installed.
Open IE 7 x86. Paste in page URL. Of course, it recognizes it.
There is a reason why *n*x and Solaris rule the x64 world. Not even Microsoft writes applications to run on x64.
To those of you on my FL who celebrate the birth of Christ today, I wish you and yours a very, Merry Christmas.
