Tallus Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 So I'm up and running with the latest Snow Leopard (updated from apple) and I go to do a little netflix action and low and behold I am prompted to install SilverLight in order to access my "instant queue" selections. I download the package file Silverlight.3.0.pkg from the netflix link and when installing it I get this error message: "Silverlight 2 may not be installed on PowerPC." Anyone else get this problem? Any solutions...I'm running a quadcore intel...no idea why it thinks its a powerpc. Everything else I've installed works great..vlc x64, xcode, vuze, you name it. -T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imacken Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 This is a better thread. Just install DigitalDJ's boot file or CPUInjector. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=189562 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 I just came here to post that. CPUInjector.kext rocks! I've had 'CPU unknown' in About this Mac since installing Snow, didn't do the usual cosmetic fix, after installing CPUInjector the CPU is correctly reported everywhere, it even appears in System Profiler now, don't think it ever has. Adobe.com still offers the PPC version of Shockwave but maybe that's their problem then. Silverlight installs fine of course. Look out for Chameleon 2.0 RC4, which will probably have CPU injection built-in via smbios.plist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacModifier Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I have no answer to getting Silverlight working but I do have an opinion on Silverlight. Another Piece of {censored} Software that Microsoft is trying to get installed on PC's. It is kind of like there browser and all there other software. It is always behind the curve and most time they don't update it till others come along and force them by competing. My advice if there is any way to get around putting this piece of {censored} software on your PC, then by all means avoid this at ALL COST! Here are three very good alternatives: http://www.perian.org/ http://www.telestream.net/flip4mac-wmv/overview.htm http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Perian and VLC has nothing to do with Silverlight. Silverlight is not a mediaplayer or a video format, it's more like Microsoft's own version of Java and Flash. Popular media sites like netflix use it exclusively so if you're a subscriber you have to have Silverlight installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
