Dave-H Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Thanks! I saw that update on Windows 7 and 8.1 machines, and was about to go a look for the standalone version to update it on XP. You saved me the trouble! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackwingcat Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 It is same the following link. http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/F/6/1F637DB3-8EF9-4D96-A8F1-909DFD7C5E69/50428.00/Silverlight.exe See also KB3162593 6 hours ago, Bersaglio said: New Silverlight update for Windows XP SP3 http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/msdownload/update/software/ftpk/2016/06/silverlight_da10804aa6241288382bf860211d7de591b4aed0.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5eraph Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the notification, Bersaglio and BlackWingCat. I kept getting a "Failed Install" message when trying to install this version of Silverlight (5.1.50428.0, 32-bit) on XPx64. These are the steps I had to take to finally succeed: Uninstall the existing version of Silverlight through "Add/Remove Programs." Run CleanSilverlight.cmd twice, per KB2608523. (You must add quotes to the registry keys in the CMD file.) Restart your computer. After restarting, disconnect your computer from the internet and temporarily disable your antivirus software. Run the latest installer EXE. (Only need the 32-bit installer for XPx64.) Restart your antivirus and reconnect to your network. Hope this helps others with the same problem. I wouldn't install Silverlight at all if it weren't for Netflix stubbornly requiring it in Firefox. Edited June 24, 2016 by 5eraph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double quotes, you mean? BTW, it installed OK for me. But I'm on x86 sp3, of course. And thanks for the heads up (with solution!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5eraph Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) I was taught to call them quotation marks, without discerning between the British single and double. Edited June 24, 2016 by 5eraph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 A Brazilian nitpicking on the usage of quotes by the Americans (BTW one of the very few cases where - by pure chance BTW - they have it "right"[1]) as opposed to the British:https://www.scribendi.com/advice/when_to_use_double_or_single_quotation_marks.en.html .... and an Italian nitpicking on the nitpicking, they are actually called "inverted commas" by the British (you know the good people that just voted to be not anymore in the EU, and as a side note: ahh, the good ol' times when twelve pence would make a shilling and twenty shillings a pound ):http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/inverted-commas I guess we have now seen it all and we can shut down the Internet for good . jaclaz [1] virgolette in Italian, comillas in Spanish, aspas in Portuguese, they are all plural (because they are double quotes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 To me, as someone British, <"> is an inverted comma, or quotation mark (normally plural as in prose there's always two of them of course, not just because it's a double mark), and <'> is an apostrophe! I only use <'> as a quotation mark in computer file names (because you can't use <">) and where there is a quote within a quote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 @Dave Naah, the plural is normally used for the single character or key on keyboard. In English also, the "double quote" (singular) or "inverted commas" (plural for the actual character/key on keyboard) are actually a (singular) "quotation mark". The plural is ambiguous:https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inverted_comma Also in computing the single quote mark is actually an apostrophe:https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/ucs/quotes.html And of course if you want to write an apostrophe you use the U+2109 "right single quotation mark" jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-H Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Yes, the plural issue is extremely confusing! Do you say something is "in quotation markS" because there's two marks, at the beginning and at the end of the quotation, or because each mark is a double mark (two flipped over (inverted) commas side by side)?! The joys of the English language........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glnz Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 Just noticed that my Task Scheduler service won't start. If I try to "run" a scheduled task, I get error messages that end with "Error 5". Although it might be something in the POS updates, I've started a new thread on this forum at175752-task-scheduler-service-wont-start-error-5 Please all here go look and comment. Thanks.

Dave-H Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I've just checked, and everything seems to be OK with the Task Scheduler here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
