Question

I have a Silverlight Application (SL4) which I have rolled out to people within my network. The problem I have is that when some of my users go to access the SL application it is asking them to download a Silverlight 3 plug in.

Is there something I need to set in my Project to ensure that the Plug in installs SL4.

Sounds like the host page HTML is incorrectly set. Your object tag HTML ought to look like this:-

<div id="silverlightControlHost">
    <object data="data:application/x-silverlight-2," type="application/x-silverlight-2" width="100%" height="100%">
      <param name="source" value="ClientBin/SilverlightApplication1.xap"/>
      <param name="onError" value="onSilverlightError" />
      <param name="background" value="white" />
      <param name="minRuntimeVersion" value="4.0.60310.0" />
      <param name="autoUpgrade" value="true" />
      <a href="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=149156&v=4.0.60310.0" style="text-decoration:none">
          <img src="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=161376" alt="Get Microsoft Silverlight" style="border-style:none"/>
      </a>
    </object><iframe id="_sl_historyFrame" style="visibility:hidden;height:0px;width:0px;border:0px"></iframe>
</div>

Note in particular the minRuntimeVersion param and the “&v=4.0.60310.0” query string value of the href in the object fallback content.
