I've been working fine with Silverlight under my VS 2005 installation but recently I said I'd start doing that work in VS2008. So I installed the Silverlight tools for VS2008 and found a nice new project template for Silverlight projects and class libraries. I clicked it and got a nice Error:
Project 'SilverlightProject2' could not be opened because the Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 compiler could not be created. Unable to find required file 'mscorlib.dll'.
So I hunted around the web and ended up on ScottGu's blog, surprise:) Some said ditch VB.NET and use C#. Sure enough the C# project worked fine, grrrr. So I uninstalled Silverlight 1.0 and tried the Silverlight 1.1 alpha September refresh. Guess what all is OK. Works a charm in VB.NET.

Thanks I also get this error. C# worked for me too. I'm surprised your blog was all I've seen on this error.
