you Got solution of your Problem or what.

I was reading your Post at http://silverlight.net/forums/p/37127/108665.aspx#108665  from there you Directed to this post.

It is little frustrating that i am finding from here you are Redirecting to another post.

 

Answer 6

But you are marking in every post your answer as answer also.

Answer 8

SP1 is for Blend 2 only and wont intstall on Blend 2.5 June edition.

Answer 9

 I believe the link provided in the 'getting started' area is for the service pack ONLY, not the full app.  You should be able to install the service pack once you have expression blend 2 installed (trial, or otherwise).

Answer 10

Sadly I have the same problem, with a fresh install of Expression Blend 2.0.1523.0 (French). The SP1 won't install, with error 1605.

 

I haven't found any solution yet, but could this be language related?

Answer 11

Hi,

For some reason I thought Expression Blend was some kind of freeware, perhaps because of the preview... But it isn't of course and thats why the SP intended for full version of expression Blend isn't aplicable by itself... Just like ccoombs says...

 You can all try and download the trial here:
http://www.microsoft.com/expression/products/Overview.aspx?key=blend

 After this there should really be no problem to install the service pack...

 

So.. Thats all there is to it... 

Ps. I just had to try my serial key from Expression Blend 1... But alas, didn't work... as suspected

Answer 12

SP1 is for Blend 2 only and wont intstall on Blend 2.5 June edition.

Both 2.0.xxx or 2.1.xxx(Blend 2.5 June preview edition) can not installing Blend SP1 successful.

Answer 13

Hi,

I uninstalled the Expression Design. After it I uninstalled SP1 for RC0 and then I could install the new SP1.

Answer 14

As far as I know, the Servicepack is only for the english Version of Blend.

You should completly uninstall all versions of Blend ... especialy the 2.5 and other beta-versions.

Then download and install the english trial:

After that you an install the SP1.

This works for me with the  same errorm 1605
