I have Visual Studio 2010. I installed Visual Studio 2010 SP1. When I'm trying to install Silverlight 5 Tools, I get error below:

Setup has detected that Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 is not installed, which is required to install the following product. Please install Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 and then retry. Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 is available at http://go.microsoft.com/?linkid=9764693.

What I'm doing wrong?

It looks like the tools aren't properly detecting that SP1 has been installed. I'd try the following steps to fix it

  • Reboot the computer. It's possible the SP1 install needs a final reboot to complete
  • Repair the Visual Studio install
  • Reinstall SP1. If Silverlight thinks it's not installed perhaps it didn't complete properly and another round will fix it.

Sorry, these aren't great solutions but this is what I would be trying on my machine
