RC0 MDS Explorer - Silverlight Issue

Question

I have installed RC0 and the Master Data Manager seems to be malfunctioning.  Here is the behavior:

1.       When “Explorer” is clicked, a dialog saying, “This page requires a more recent version of Silverlight.  Would you like to install the latest version from the Silverlight Web site”

2.       I select “Yes”, perform the download and successfully install, and the  same behavior in #1 continues.

3.       I remove Silverlight, install version 5.0.60818.0 (version 5) and I continue to get the behavior in #1 (ie I cannot use the Explorer)

 

Advice appreciated

Answer 1

This is a known issue that we are currently working to fix for the next release. A compatible version of Silverlight can be found here:

 http://go2.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=116053&v=5.0.61025.0

 Download and install this version and then try accessing the MDS server again.

Hi,

 

Thank you, that took me one step further but when the page was loading I recieved the message "The remote server returned an error: NotFound".

 

Any suggestions?

Hi,

 

It seems as there is some IIS authentication configuration mismatch. Could you please try to follow Brent's instructions at: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlmds/thread/56bcb386-cbe4-4ff1-bc8a-25f0820952f7 and update us if it helps?

 

Thanks,

Answer 5

Hi,

 

I didn't use the default website with an MDS application so the settings referred to wasn't 100% match. I tried to set it to the most equivalent possible but it didn't work.

There after I created an MDS application under the default website and changed the settings accordingly. Voila, it worked.

 

Thanks guys, without you and these forums I'd be lost.
