Silverlight 5.0 debugging issue on Windows 10

I've recently upgraded my OS to Windows 10. I have a very basic Silverlight 5 application which gives me Unable to start Debugging. The Silverlight Developer Runtime Not Installed. Please Installed a matching version error in VS 2010 whenever I am trying to run the project.

I have :

  1. Target Silverlight version is set to Silverlight 5 in web project.
  2. I have installed Silverlight SDK, Silverlight5_Tools with SP1 installed & Silverlight Runtime which is 64-bit.

After doing all these steps and going through many online posts, still I'm unable to resolve this issue.

My Doubts are :

  1. Do the Windows 10 upgrade has anything to do with this situation?
  2. Windows 10 comes with a new browser Edge, is this because of this browser? Like Silverlight compability.

Again I am not sure but these are my doubt. Any suggestions?

Do you have a 64 bit OS ? If so - uninstall Silverlight (developer!) and make sure you install the silverlight.exe (developer!) not the 64 bit version. That worked for me. HTH
