WP7 SDK help?

REA · 06-20-2012, 01:17 AM

Not sure if this belongs here (since it pertains to WP7) or in Development Discussion. A while back I installed the WP7 SDK for VS10 and everything worked out just fine (but I didn't use it too much). Now I'm looking to work on some proojects with a friend of mine, but when I start a new project, instead of getting the WYSIWYG GUI editor I get an ugly error:

Code:

System.NotSupportedException
Could not find Microsoft Silverlight SDK v4.0. Please make sure that the correct version of the Microsoft Silverlight SDK has been installed.

I have Silverlight SDK 4.0 installed and no other version of it. I've been searching around, but there hasn't been a straight forward fix or reason for this (other than one that called for running some commands that could mess up the registry and could possibly not work). I've reinstalled the SDK so many times, but it doesn't seem to help Anyone else have this problem and/or know of a solution?

Fixed the problem.
For anyone in the future who may have the problem. Go into the registry and find the entries HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AgControl.* and check if any of them give you an "access denied" messagebox. If it does, change the permissions to it so that you, admin, and system can have full access to it.
