Continuing my investigation, I am attempting to force the uploader in InsertImage.aspx to use Silverlight by adding UploadType="Silverlight" like so:
<ce:uploader id="InputFile" UploadType="Silverlight" runat="server"></ce:uploader>
but I get the following error message:
this is clearly wrong because I already have the latest version of Silverlight installed on my machine.
Here a summary of what I have discovered so far:
- When the editor is configured to use standard dialogs, the uploader ignores Silverlight and uses Flash. Why?
- When the uploader uses Flash, some of my users get the "File browsing dialog has been blocked" error message. Why?
- When I attempt to force the uploader to use Silverlight I get a message that I should get the latest version of Silverlight despite the fact that I already have the latest Silverlight on my machine (screenshot above). Why?
- Someone else observed similar problems when using standard dialogs: http://cutesoft.net/forums/thread/49725.aspx
