Hi Greg, Check out this Ars Technica article from January on this exact topic http://arstechnica.com/microsoft/news/2010/01/why-microsoft-isnt-working-on-silverlight-64-bit.ars
Out of interest, the same same goes for Flash http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/000/6b3af6c9.html, no x4 support there either. >From the Ars Technica article, it sounds like Microsoft reckons they will do it, but not right now. There just isn't enough demand for Silverlight on x64 browsers (i.e. not enough people use x64 browsers). /Ola On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 8:39 AM, Greg Keogh <[email protected]> wrote: > I just had an email from a tester of our Silverlight 3 app that > “Microsoft Silverlight cannot be used in browsers running in 64 bit mode. > This Web browser or operating system may not be compatible with > Silverlight”. > > > > I never even noticed that a 64 bit IE existed until he pointed out that > he’s got this on his start menu: > > > > [image: cid:[email protected]] > > > > I don’t think he really noticed either, but in the meantime we’ve told him > to ignore the 64 bit browser. > > > > I’m just wondering if anyone knows any gossip about the future of 64 bit > browsers and Silverlight. > > > > Greg > > > > _______________________________________________ > ozsilverlight mailing list > [email protected] > http://prdlxvm0001.codify.net/mailman/listinfo/ozsilverlight > >
