I have just updated XAML Power Toys for Visual Studio 2010 for Cider to version 2.1 adding support for Silverlight 4.
Please Note
I have two XAML Power Toys products on my blog. They are not the same. Get both, you’ll be glad you did.
The first one is for working in the XAML Editor and to create ViewModel’s.
The second one works with the Cider Designer. This is post is about this product.
New Features and Fixes
- Added support for Silverlight 4
- Fixed installer for x64 systems. Added workaround for Visual Studio 2010 issue with loading custom control designers for Silverlight 4
Download
You can get the new version on the XAML Power Toys for Cider Home Page.
Have a great day,
Just a grain of sand on the worlds beaches.

Hi,
I can’t install it. The setup fails with a Null Reference Exception:

I’m running Windows 7 Ultimate x86 with VS2008SP1 and VS2010 RTM.

André,
Sorry you are having a problem. Do you have the latest Silverlight 4 installed from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=eff8a0da-0a4d-48e8-8366-6ddf2ecad801&displaylang=en
Thanks for letting me know.
Karl
Yes, I have it installed. I installed the Silverlight tools again, but it doesn’t work.
magicandre1981,
I found the problem, it was reading your LocalMachine registry hive.
1. Download this new installer: http://cid-51de981e071f222b.office.live.com/self.aspx/Public/XAML%20Power%20Toys%202010%20for%20Cider/XAMLPowerToys2010ForCider%5E_2.1%5E_Installer.zip
2. Please run the installer as the Administrator. Right click on the Setup.exe, select “Run as administrator”
When you run the above as an administrator and you get a message box with the caption “Exception Reading LocalMachine Hive” then we have a bummer of a problem.
If you don’t get this message box, the installer should run to completion.
Others are using this installer without problems now.
I’m at home all day programming, so please let me know if this works/doesn’t work.
Have a super day,
Karl
I have exactly the same problem and I have everything latest and greatest. VS 2010 on Windows Server 2008
