If you installed latest version of Silverlight (Silverlight 4), it may break the your current silverlight development environment. After in the Silverlight 4 installation, if you try to debug any Silverlight 3 project, you will get a message from Visual Studio 2008, saying “Unable to start debugging. The Silverlight managed debugging package isn’t installed.”
Unable to start debugging. The Silverlight managed debugging package isn't installed.
To fix this error, install the Silverlight Developer Run time. You can get it from here : http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=188039.
Thank so much. This solved my issue.!!!
@NITHYA Thanks for the feedback
Thanks for this idea, that works. But the problem is that the XAML IDE of Visual Studio 2008 shows then the SL4 definition of user controls (ex: UIElement.AllowDrop), whereas we develop with SL3. So that’s not perfect.
@WolveFred If you are using VS 2010 / WVD Express 2010, you can get the design view.
I lost XAML autocomplete after install the Silverlight Developer Run time
@nuno Hmm thats strange, try Reseting Visual Studio, with devenv /resetsettings in the command prompt and try.
Download this plug in for Silverlight 4

My solution:
- uninstall SL4 Runtime
- uninstall SL3 Tools for VS2008 SP1
- install SL3 Runtime (if you have difficulty to find, go to filehippo.com. On Microsoft page, I always get SL4!)
- install SL3 Tools for VS2008 SP1 again
Thank you very much! My Problem Solved…
Thanks you all. Thanks for the comments. @nuno Thanks for the suggestions

Welcome venkatesh
Keep visiting dotnetthoughts
thanks a lot, you just saved me ….
Cancel my prior comment, link works fine.
I tried this and I still have same problem.
I have ran:
1.Silverlight3_Tools.exe
2. Silverlight_sdk.exe
and now 3. Silverlight_Developer.exe
All are from Microsoft and I see no change in my problem. I’m running Visual Studio SP1 on Windows XP if that helps.
Any thoughts?
Sorry Dan
Its working fine for me, in my office machine with same config.
Thanks man , its working perfect !!
Welcome
Yeah ! Thanks . It Worked Excellently !
Many. Many . Thanks.
Anuraj P.
Welcome Amit
Yeah
what happened to me was that I didn’t get that silverlight tools 4 had included a runtime for us developers, so I installed SDK, tools for visual studio and a user runtime….
you have to uninstall the user runtime in that case so that visual studio can find your developer runtime….
