Hello satimis, Moonlight, which was an open-source implementation of Microsoft Silverlight, was discontinued a while back. Moonlight was primarily developed for Linux systems to enable Silverlight content to be played in browsers like Firefox. However, for Windows systems, including Windows 7 64-bit with Internet Explorer 8, the best approach for Silverlight content would be to use Microsoft Silverlight itself. Unfortunately, Moonlight is no longer actively developed, and finding 64-bit versions of it might be quite challenging if not impossible. Here are some recommendations for using Silverlight on your Windows 7 system: 1. Microsoft Silverlight: This is the official plugin developed by Microsoft to enable Silverlight content in...

Here are some recommendations for using Silverlight on your Windows 7 system: 1. Microsoft Silverlight: This is the official plugin developed by Microsoft to enable Silverlight content in web browsers. You can download it directly from the official Microsoft Silverlight website. 2. System Requirements: Ensure that your system meets the system requirements for running Silverlight. While Moonlight was a great project for Linux users, the focus has shifted to other technologies. For Windows systems, it's best to use the official Microsoft Silverlight plugin for a smooth and supported experience. If you have any Silverlight-specific content you need to access, the official Microsoft Silverlight plugin should be your go-to option. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
