I have a problem here. Currently I have already updated to the latest weekly version of UURollup v11 (2012-11-04) and when I try to access websites that require Microsoft Silverlight, the plugin itself crashes.

Here's the screenshot of what it looks like: http://twitpic.com/bcqccj/full

The same situation happens under Google Chrome and it even crashes the Opera browser.

Other plugins work fine. Microsoft Silverlight can be found in the "\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight" directory and the current version that I'm using is version 4.1.10329.0.

Is there a way to investigate what could be causing this issue and fix it?

Thanks.

Confirmed. I'll try to check it ASAP.

Alrighty! I think that it would be good to investigate which DLL is causing Microsoft Silverlight to either not work correctly or crash and if you found the problem, let me know.

I'm sorry but haven't had time yet to check the issue

Actually, since a few days I didn't have Internet access in VMs and I was really wondering what the reason was. Everything was working properly and then suddenly I couldn't open any websites (only in VMs as Internet worked in my real system). I even checked the problem in XP installed on an another partition and the situation was the same, i.e. there was still no Internet in the VMs (even though the host system was different).

I was suspecting that something was going on with the wireless router which I've been using here but wasn't really sure as the Internet was still working in other circumstances. Now I'm 99% sure that it was indeed the router. It just completely stopped working today. I tried to reconnect the thing, reset the settings, etc. but nothing worked. It seems to be dead. I connected the LAN cable directly to the computer and the Internet is working in the VMs again

I shall be able to check the Silverlight issue in the next few days.

I sure hope that you got the router fixed by the way. I suspect that there could a bit of a problem with UURollup v11 causing sites that use Microsoft Silverlight to crash.

The last version of UURollup where Silverlight works is daily v11d120911.

Thank you for telling me. I could be wrong, but I think that the problem might be due to the latest version of ntdll.dll which is version 5.0.2195.7103 (2012-10-05 20:48:18). I'm wondering if it is possible to either use a older version of ntdll.dll or investigate parts of the ntdll.dll file to determine what caused Silverlight to not work anymore either.

I don't think that Silverlight 5.x even works with this version of the Extended Kernel, but I could be wrong here.

Edit: I heard that blackwingcat got Silverlight 5.x working with the latest version of UURollup v11. If that's the case, I will need to somehow get it working to see if this will remedy the problem.

It's not possible to downgrade ntdll.dll without downgrading a lot of other files too.

Silverlight 5.x doesn't work for me:

I knew it. I kinda have a feeling that the final version of UURollup v11 will most likely break Silverlight support as far as I know.

According to the error details, the crash in Microsoft Silverlight caused by the latest update to UURollup v11 has the offending module name of kernel32.dll (module version 5.0.2195.7193), the exception information output are as follows:

Quote

Code: 0xe0434352
Flags: 0x00000001
Record: 0x0000000000000000
Address: 0x000000007C59CB1

So, until there is any word on how to get Silverlight fixed, I'm afraid that we're stuck, which means that we may have to use the older workable version of UURollup (with the version of the files older than 5.0.2195.7193) or uninstall Silverlight completely.

At the moment, if you absolutely must use Silverlight then I recommend to uninstall the version of UURollup which you're using now and install daily v11d120911. Silverlight (both 4.x and 5.x) should work with it properly.

Actually I'm 100% sure that it's something with ntdll.dll because I did test it by comparing dailies v11d120911 and v11d120915. Unfortunately kernel32.dll and other files are also dependent on it so it's impossible to keep the old version of ntdll.dll with the new versions of the other files.

I agree. It's something with ntdll.dll and v11d120915 and up that's causing Silverlight to crash. But what's complicated is that simply replacing older versions of the ntdll.dll would break applications, because kernel32.dll and other files from 5.0.2195.7193 depend on ntdll.dll.

As for the recommendation, I'm with you on this one. I either need to downgrade to v11d120911 or uninstall Silverlight until a update from v11d121104 is made, that is if there is one.

[tomasz86]

Don't even try to replace ntdll.dll with an older version. It's not that some applications will not work. The system itself will actually NOT boot

Woah! Thank you for telling me. At the moment, it looks like that fixing the Microsoft Silverlight plugin is infeasible right now so I had to uninstall it.

Update: At this time, I just got word that Silverlight 4.1 and Silverlight 5.x will work with UURollup v11 20120915+ ONLY if the system locale is set to the Japanese language and in Japanese versions of Windows 2000. It will NOT work in languages other than Japanese: http://www.msfn.org/...ost__p__1019919

I think it would be good to do some investigation into the DLLs that caused Silverlight to not work in languages other than Japanese. ;p

Let's wait for BlackWingCat's answer. I've got no idea why it only works with Japanese locale

Me too. v11 of UURollup is already stable in this latest beta...so if there is a way to get Silverlight working on other locales with a upcoming fix to UURollup v11, we'll see what happens.

Update: blackwingcat has concluded that the reason why Microsoft Silverlight crashed in all browsers is that the plugin threw an exception and terminated with the entry point GetThreadPreferredUILanguages linked to KERNEL32.DLL. This entry point is only present on Windows Vista and higher.

Update 2: I can confirm that Silverlight crashes in the UURollup v11 2012-11-18 update, because it threw the GetThreadPreferredUILanguages entry point as I don't think that it didn't with UURollup v10d. I sure hope that it will get fixed in UURollup v11 2012-12-02 update. blackwingcat already fixed the issue in KernelEx v22k3.

For now, until further notice, it would be good to set the system locale to Japanese.

The issue is not fixed yet because Silverlight still crashes in case of Korean & Chinese locale

I'm still planning to include the fixed files in the new daily sometime this weekend.

GetThreadPreferredUILanguages is also available in blackwingcat's kernel32.dll. He added those NT6 functions some time ago.

Thanks for telling me. I really appreciate it! ^^ I can't wait to see Silverlight working again.

When I try to display the sample page that you provided, I get this error message:

The sample could not be loaded.

The sref URL parameter does not match any known sample.

Please fix the URL in the address bar or select another sample.

But other than that, the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight works on other websites that I go to.
