After I installed Safari for Windows, the second thing I did was see if it would run Silverlight. I loaded up the Airline sample that I had running locally on my machine and got this.

From this I glean that the JavaScript detection code isn't digging Safari on Windows. So...checking my HTTP UserAgent gives me:

...but on Mac it's usually:

...and since it's not Silverlight but rather the JavaScript that makes the decision on whether to try to load Silverlight (and considering that Flash and what-not worked in Safari without be needing to reinstall any plugins).

I opened up this app's Silverlight.js file and added an alert() around line 85:

var versionStr = detectAgControlVersion();
alert(versionStr);

...and it reported 0.8.5. That means that Safari can see the plugin on the system, but the version should be 0.95.

I figure that the Silverlight Team is already all over this, so rather than solving the problem for them, I added:

agVersion = '0.95.0';

...around line 65 to force the issue. This got Silverlight loaded into memory, as seen in the Process Explorer screenshot below...

...but nothing showed up. Blank screen. No amount of windows jiggling or resizing (to force a paint) would get it going on my system.

UPDATE: Tim Heuer tried the same thing and says the Silverlight Team is on it and that Safari smells like Opera to Silverlight. He also says he was able to get a control to show while I was not.

If this browser is going to get some share (and it likely will with 1 million iTunes downloads a month - they'll likely bundle it virally) then Silverlight support is a must.

Certain services offered on the BBC website such as audio, video, animations and games require specific additional third party software (called 'plug-ins'). You may have such software already loaded onto your computer. If you do not then, should you wish to use these BBC services, you will need to licence and download such software from a third party software company.

We will direct you to the relevant pages of the software company website. The website will give a set of instructions that you will need to follow in order to download the plug-in. In particular you will be asked by the software company to agree to its terms and conditions of licence. Any such agreement is between you and the software company and the BBC does not accept any liability in relation either to the download or to the use of the plug-in.

The BBC does not use any plug-in that is not available FREE OF CHARGE. However most software companies will also offer versions of their plug-ins that require payment. We will always try to direct you to the free download pages of the software company site. You may of course choose to licence paid-for software from the third party. However if you only want to download the free plug-in you should not be asked for, nor give, any credit card or other payment details.

Finally, it is likely that you will be asked to enter personal details (name, address etc.) as part of the download process. If you do enter such information then it will be held by the software company subject to the Data Protection Act and other relevant privacy legislation. The company should therefore inform you what it intends to do with your data, and may direct you to its Privacy Policy. Please note that you will be submitting the data to the third party software company and not to the BBC and so the use of the data will NOT be covered by the BBC Privacy Policy.

Although the BBC uses third party plug-ins in order to provide the best possible web service, it does not endorse any third party software. If you choose to enter into an agreement with the third party and download the plug-in you do so at you own risk.
