Answer 1

Please check to see if you have KB949325 installed.  If so, uninstall it.

For XP:

1. Open the Add/Remove Programs dialog from the Control Panel
2. Click 'Show updates' at the top of the window
3. Remove KB949325 (it will be listed under your version of VS)

Answer 2

 I don't have this patch.

Answer 3

Interesting.

Do you have VS08 SP1 Beta installed or any other patches?

Also check the version of Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Application.dll

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.Application.dll

VS 08 RTM	9.0.21022.8
Silverlight Tools Beta 1 (for VS08 RTM)	9.0.21116.48
Silverlight Tools Beta 2 (for VS08 RTM)	9.0.21022.108
VS 08 SP1 Beta	9.0.30428.1
Silverlight Tools Beta 2 (for VS08 SP1 Beta)	9.0.30428.9

As a last resort you could try unpacking the silverlight_chainer.exe and installing the component individually.  Let me know what version you have before we resort to that step.

 Sorry, this was my mistake. I had to enable "Show Updates" to see it. I was confused because I can see this patch In VS about dialog box but not in Add/Remove programs. Have to learn how to use it.

 

Thanks a lot for your help.
