Re: Microsoft Security Bulletin(s) for December 9, 2014, 201424 (23 important, 1 optional) updates for my Win7 x64 SP1 box. FYI there's an update to Silverlight (5.1.31010.0) and you can download that manually if you want » www.microsoft.com/en-us/ ··· id=45261You can also manually download MRT here » www.microsoft.com/en-us/ ··· ils.aspxThat's useful if you have multiple machines (real/VM) to update (as I do). |

KB3011970 doesn't seem to exist, at least not yet. Do you happen to know what this Silverlight update changes/fixes? |

No, sorry. When I got the Silverlight update via WU I checked the official Silverlight site. As usual it offered the old version. Frankly I was surprised that I found the new version download page. MS has a nasty habit of not admitting to new versions (and documentation) until days, and sometimes weeks, after Patch Tues  For reasons I cannot understand they seem incapable of publishing updates and KB articles etc at the same time. PS: Even more frustrating is that the latest Silverlight installers are digitally signed Oct 10th 2014. |

The official download page » www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight still says 5.1.30514 (runs on XP--5.1.31010 doesn't) is the latest. Hopefully those that wanted the full installers got them yesterday. Who knows when MS will get with it. |

Can't play PlayReady DRM video after installing Silverlight Update 5.1.31010quote:
This version has been pulled and replaced with 5.1.30514.
If you experience errors when trying to view DRM protected videos on sites like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or Sky, please check to see if you have Silverlight version 5.1.31010 installed and if so, uninstall and reinstall Silverlight.

I don't have the 32-bit 5.1.31211.0 installer but the 64-bit version installs the 32-bit version too. I copied the
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\5.1.31211.0
folder to my WinXP SP3 machine, tweaked a few registry settings (pointers to files in that folder), and voila 5.1.31211.0 is running on my WinXP SP3 box.
Take that Microsoft! |

But I found this (release history) The release history takes you to the Get MS Silverlight page where it makes you wait while it checks the version you have. It tells me: The version of Silverlight installed is: Silverlight 5 (5.1.30514.0) You are ready to use Microsoft Silverlight So, I guess there is a newer version only if you use Windows Update. |

Don't know but I use Windows Update and I did not receive the latest update?
The latest available version I have is 5.1.30514.0 and MS Silverlight page tells me I have the latest version. I downloaded all the Windows Updates late Wednesday so... any buggy patches initially offered I have appeared to have missed. |

What OS? I think only Win7+ users get it. I tried in XP SP3 and Vista SP2 and no update (I've tried). |

Dunno. MS in their infinite wisdom only makes Silverlight 5.1.31211.0 available via WU.
[As of which I discussed above in detail] |

I keep that check for updates disabled. However, I changed it a little while ago to the second choice. But I'm not clear on how Silverlight checks for updates if either the first or second choices is used. Does it get the updates independent of Windows Updates? |

Also according to the Siverlight release history (link posted above) there were two 4.1 versions. I don't remember those nor can I find them anywhere. olddapps.com has 4.0.x and 5.x but no 4.1 PS: To my knowledge 4.0.60831.0 was the last version to run on Win2K. I know 5.x won't. Perhaps the mythical 4.1.x will--if it can be found. |

Just had a chance to confirm this. Silverlight 5.1.31211.0 x86 does install and run ok on WinXP SP3. The patch Tues version didn't. Go figure. |

I downloaded the x86 installer and it is digitally signed by MS and is free of malware as far as I can tell. Can you post the MD5 or SHA-1 hash of the 5.1.31211.0 x86 installer? I'd like to verify if I wind up with the same thing. Also, did we ever determine what changes/fixes the update makes, besides fixing the DRM bug from the botched 5.1.31010.0 version? Thanks! |
