Any company providing silverlight dservices know the difference between Silverlight runtime and Silverlight SDK. Silverlight Runtime is a plug-in for browsers to support Silverlight enabled applications. Whereas Silverlight SDK is a set of tools, documentation, samples and templates for the web developers to help them easily develop Silverlight enabled applications. If Silverlight runtime is not installed, browsers will not be able to run Silverlight elements in the browser. Silverlight developers can set up Silverlight tags in a way that the browser will automatically prompt the user to download and install the Silverlight plug in when your application is launched in the browser. Installing the run time is a onetime operation on the client. Once installed, it will be automatically launched when any Silverlight application is loaded in the browser.
