The ../silverlight/resources/install.aspx URL above works for consumers; but will display a "Unable to install Silverlight: Your Silverlight developer components are out of date." message if Silverlight Developer Tools are installed.

Silverlight 2 Developers requires the latest SL2 Developers installer. Found here:
