Silverlight 4 - do I need to set administrator rights?

Question

I am trying to figure out if I need to set the local administrator privileges for the Silverlight 4 client. Some pages seem to indicate that it is, but others that are not. I already saw this question:

Do you need local administrator rights to install Silverlight?

However, I ask you to object for two reasons. The first is Silverlight 4, so I wonder if the situation has changed. Secondly, I hope to get a link to the official documentation that talks about it, and not just "Yes, yes." Answer.

I did some testing, and from what I can say, my users can install it without local administrator rights, but I'm in a corporate environment with a complex security profile, so I'm not sure what the actual settings are.

This is with Internet Explorer 6, if that matters.

Answer 1

Yes it is.

The following link contains resources for Silverlight in general:

The Enterprise Silverlight Deployment Guide is the document you are looking for:

This document has been updated for SL4.

Page 22 of this document states that the user must be a member of the Administrators group if they install it themselves.
