Wish Microsoft was better at managing details like this. They have great products, but don;t seem to do well at getting them adopted. Perhaps the new Microsoft Mesh will solve that, in time. Thanks again, Rob @Pip – that is interesting. Wish Microsoft was better at managing details like this. They have great products, but don;t seem to do well at getting them adopted.

If the installation process is configured to be a direct installation then it allows the user to install silverlight in the background without needing to leave your site. This seems to cause the phishing warning to be displayed. I have reproduced and eliminated the error by switching back and forth between both installation techniques. Unfortunately I still have not found a way to stop the phishing warning from appearing while implementing direct installation.

I didn't do anything but use the embed to the video, so I assume this is something the person that hosts the video did? Love it when people stop by and offer information! @Pip – thanks for the information.

My sight did not have a phishing warning until I implemented the "Optimizing the Silverlight Installation Experience" from a white paper on Microsofts site.

It makes it so hard on developers as they try mightily to create things that will work on the myriad of platforms...almost makes IE7 just that much more an issue as a platform.

Really - this is not an April Fool's joke. I really don't want MS to think it is. What it is is silly - it is one part of MS not working with the other. They gotta fix that. Yahoo will just add more confusion. Wonder how they will deal with that? @Deannie, @Stu – nope. Really – this is not an April Fool’s joke. I really don’t want MS to think it is.
