How To Deploy Silverlight 5.1 using SCCM 2012 R2

How To Deploy Silverlight 5.1 using SCCM 2012 R2

Download latest version of Silverlight from Microsoft http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/.

I have used version Microsoft Silver light 5.1.30514.0 for this.
The downloaded version of silver light will be in .exe format. Use 7-Zip to extract or just run the exe and check C:\dynamic folder(long file name in form of hash) created...check date modified. Look for silveright.msi file. Edit this .msi using Orca and navigate to Property and Product ID. This is required for detection method while creating an application in SCCM 2012 R2.

Do not use just .MSI. Its not complete setup, if you do you will not have some core package functionality like ..Silverlight upgrade etc..

Create an Application for Silverlight... follow the steps and choose Deployment type as Script Installer and create this using manual option for .EXE.

Command for install : Silverlight_5.1.exe /q

If you need to disable auto update, use --reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Silverlight /f /v UpdateConsentMode /d 2

I have created a .bat file for this and created a package using Script Installer. It is simple and works well.

Silverlight_5.1.exe /q

reg add HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Silverlight /f /v UpdateConsentMode /d 2
