Good find, Joe. I installed it a few moments ago and discovered that the update included Visual Studio 2010 tooling (whatever that is). I also found out that I could not Run the download, a error msg. appeared that said "Unable to find a volume for file extraction. Verify you have proper permission". When I saved the download file it installed perfectly.

I'm learning more and more about this computer stuff. :clapping:

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, red wine in the other, body thoroughly used up. Totally worn out & screaming "Wow, Wee What a ride!

If I only use IE for Windows / Microsoft Update do I need Silverlight?

No at this time. No telling about the future.

That's what I thought and if MS do change their update site such that Silverlight becomes necessary then I dare say it will be obvious.

Thanks,

Yes. Any site you visit that requires Silverlight will cause the "Information Bar" to be displayed telling you that the website wants to install Silverlight if Silverlight is not installed.
