It doesn't let me delete the installation check file… even though it isnt locked and says I have read write access in the info. Any thoughts?

Thanks! that worked for the install but it won't load the plug-in successfully when I go to websites that require silverlight. I get an error message… /Users/tmyrick/Desktop/Picture 2.png

Virtual PC 7 is not compatible with Leopard, Tiger is the last compatible Mac OS X. (Unless Microsoft was mistaken, or you have found a way around that.)

This will not work. You can test it and verify it yourself if you feel the need. Anyone claiming to have it working is either misguided or lying.

Whilst the method of installation; removing the upgrade check script does allow the plugin to be installed, the plugin is built for the intel architecture only.

Plug-ins for one architecture cannot be loaded by a program running in another architecture, so this wouldn't work even if if there was some kind of bizarre reverse Rosetta system that allowed PPC machines to execute intel code (which there isn't).

Give it up folks.
