Silverlight 1.0 RC Re-Reinstall issues and how it got resolved -- more info

I've got this discussed in much closer detail in the Silverlight Forum, but the bottom line is that after working with the RC locally and on the web all weekend, after a reboot I had problems.

The problems consisted of the fact that my system acted like I did not have the RC run-time installed even though I'd been using it since Friday night on that box.

Reinstalling didn't resolve the issue and made it more confusing because it said it wouldn't install because I had a "newer" version on the machine... huh?

To make a long story shorter, this got resolved by RE-installing the new Alpha 1.1 bits. As soon as that happened, my RC started working just fine... not only over the web, but also locally.

Go figure... but I choose to treat it like sinking the 8-ball on the break ... don't say anything, just smile and walk away :)

Thought I'd post this in case it might be of any use to someone else...

Additional Info:

After a couple email exchanges with Tim Heuer, it became painfully clear that something came in under my radar... I've been a bit out of touch from being out of town, so playing catch-up I missed this if it was made more clear somewhere... but we've reached the point where the Beta and the Alpha have merged. By that I mean that the new Alpha bits that you can download now fully contain the Beta RC package. So... as a developer, just bypass the download of the Beta run-time and go for the Alpha, who cares if it takes another 10 seconds?

Unfortunately, this also means if something gets crossed up like I had this morning, then there really IS a newer version of the same thing on-board .. the Alpha 1.1 bits, and it could get messy for your unknowing end-users that are looking at sites with Alpha and Beta on them in various stages of release.

Confused? .. yeah, I was too until I heard the Alpha/Beta synergy.

It still doesn't address the initial problem I had this morning, but it helps explain what had to be done to fix it.
