Yes I did. And I really dont think its a problem with the download.
I am using Windows XP Pro SP3, on a Dual Intel Xeon 2.4ghz, 2.5gb ram.
I restarted and tried again. I do not see a way to get the log file running the install.exe. But here what I did, I extracted the original MSI, and ran silverlight.msi /log x.log
This generates a log file that actually says it completes successfully (verses install.exe which blows up with error 1500), and add/remove shows silverlight in there, however it is not really installed, and no silverlight apps run.
