I'm trying to install the SP1 for Visual Studio 2010. I first installed the beta and it worked fine. Then I used the web platform installer to install the SQL CE Compact 4, which I assume installed the full SP1 after (this installation took over 12 hours, so I canceled it). The web platform installer told me that SP1 and Silverlight 4 was installed.

Visual Studio tells me SP1 was partially installed. So I downloaded the installer from the site and now it gives me this error:

Microsoft Silverlight 4 SDK - The feature you are trying to use is on a network resorce that is unavailable. Seeking application package 'silverlight_sdk.msi'.

How can I fix this error?

It's because Silverlight 4 isn't bundled with SP1 (apparently). Download Silverlight 4 tools, extract and point the SP1 error dialog to silverlight_sdk.msi. Should resolve it.
