Silverlight in Firefox without administrator rights

I see lots of people asking online for a way to install Microsoft Silverlight plugin into a browser, without needing administrator rights on the target Windows PC. I've finally found a solution online that I'd like to share with you:

  1. Download the latest Silverlight SDK from Microsoft.com (version 4 is the latest at the moment)
  2. Open silverlight_sdk.exe with e.g. 7-zip
  3. Extract and open silverlight_sdk.cab (again with e.g. 7-zip)
  4. Extract the following list of files from the CAB archive into the plugin folder of your web browser (e.g. C:\Program Files\Firefox\plugins):
    agcore.DLL
coreclr.DLL
microsoft.visualbasic.DLL
mscorlib.DLL
mscorrc.DLL
npctrl.DLL
NPCTRLUI.DLL
slr.dll.managed_manifest
system.core.DLL
system.DLL
system.net.DLL
system.runtime.serialization.DLL
system.servicemodel.DLL
system.servicemodel.web.DLL
system.windows.browser.DLL
System.Windows.DLL
system.xml.DLL
  5. Restart Firefox and verify that Silverlight plugin is active in the Tools > Add-ons screen
