Silverlight is a powerful development tool for creating engaging, interactive user experiences for Web and mobile applications. Silverlight is a free plug-in, powered by the.NET framework and compatible with multiple browsers, devices and operating systems, bringing a new level of interactivity wherever the Web works.
Update to my post above- I still have NOT managed to reinstall Silverlight 4, but I have managed to get Silverlight 5 to work on the Mac. I reinstalled Silverlight 5 and then ran the Silverlight Debugging Configuration.app again. This time it worked, or maybe I just configured it correctly, because I WAS eventually able to stream Netflix. However, when I first restarted Firefox and tried to 'watch instantly', Firefox indicated I had to restart Firefox in 32-bit mode. After restarting Firefox, Netflix 'watch instantly' seems to work OK, so far.
I followed someone else's advice (kinda) and found all the silverlight files in 'INVISIBLE FILES'. In the Finder, choose File Find or press Command (⌘)-F. From the far-left pop-up menu (labeled “Kind”), choose Other. In the list of search attributes, select the “File invisible” checkbox, and then click OK. In the related menu, choose Invisible Items. Once loaded go to folder Private then to folder VAR then folder db theb folder Receipts scroll to any com.microsoft.silverlight item and delete. There are a bunch of them.
Close, restart and install silverlight.
Fix 1: U can use silverlight true High Sierra (NOT Mojave) and Safari 11.1.2. If u have a timemachine backup u can restore the older safari version, but u have to say no to updates later on. Fix 2: Download Firefox 52: Its the last firefox version that support Silverlight. Fix 3: Stop using Silverlight. It was last updated 1.9.2016 and all newer browser don't support it any more. Not even Microsoft Edge 🙂 Last fuld supported browser for Silverlight is Internet Explorer 11.x, and last i check Internet Explorer 5.x was the last support browser on macOS 😉 Silverlight is dead.
