philippebezoteaux Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Hi, I tried to install Silverlight so that I can watch the olympic games live on the web. My problem is that Silverlight considers my hackintosh as a powerpc and refuses to setup. Any ideas ?

vbetts Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Correct me if I'm wrong, but Silverlight is windows only? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120462-osx86-powerpc/#findComment-852302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
teknojunkie Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 nope it for mac also Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120462-osx86-powerpc/#findComment-852345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlcloudy Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I am guessing that the Silverlight version for mac may be expecting a 64bit architecture mac and maybe that is causing your "PowerPC" issue. I am not an expert of course, and this is just an educated guess...

boofoo Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 Go to the terminal and cd to the "Silverlight.2.0.pkg/Contents/Resources" inside the package. Then "sudo vi InstallationCheck" and comment out the following line by putting a # in front of it: $EXIT_VALUE = 96+19; write the file and rerun the installer. Worked like a champ for me.

MGJulius Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 How do you write the file? I do the # sign before the exit value and it makes the $exit_value = 96+19; but what do i do after that Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/120462-osx86-powerpc/#findComment-853599 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollyau Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 If you don't need the Microsoft Silverlight 2 beta, the Microsoft Silverlight 1 release worked well for me .

boofoo Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 You're using vi so to add the # to the beginning of the line you go to the line using the J and K keys, then esc > the i key, type the # in, then esc > the : key, then after the : type wq! and enter.
