This has primarily been to test out the welcome / install screen if the end user does not have Silverlight install. The easiest and quickest way around this is to disable the Silverlight plugin, when using Internet Explorer simply go to:

Tools > Internet Options > Programs > Manage Add-Ons

This will show all of your installed add-ons as below and you will be able to scroll through till you find the “Microsoft Silverlight” add-on and you will be able to click on “disable” to turn it off.

Similarly, when using FireFox you can do the same thing by going to:

Tools > Add-Ons > Plug-Ins

And then clicking “Disable” on the Silverlight plug-in.

Go check this out by navigating to www.silverlight.net and turning your Silverlight off and on again.
