      My HTPC was running Vista Ultimate, I upgraded to Window 7 Ultimate, had issues with the video and sound cards, so I uninstalled Win7 and reinstalled Windows Vista.  My Movies and Hulu Desktop installed without issue but when I went into TV/Movies and into the Netflix item listed and clicked on Install, it looked like it installed with no issues.  However, when I go back into Media Center and select Netflix, I get the same Install screen over and over again.  I have opened up permissions on the system and added netflix as a trusted site but nothing I have done has helped.  Any ideas (short of reinstalling Win7) would be appreciated.

        obvious question first–does netflix via their website work? there used to be a standalone link to the netflix installer. I assume you’ve tried uninstalling and re-installing?

          Yes, netflix streaming works via a web browser.  When I look in add / remove programs I see silverlight and netflix listed as installed.  I have uninstalled both and tried the reinstall but none have corrected the issue.

          I installed hulu desktop and then the MCE HULU add in that the guy who wrote Secondrun.tv has on his legacy site and also My Movies installed without issue so I would not think a permissions issue would be the problem.  However, I am at a loss right now as to why it isn’t working when it worked in the past and no hardware changes were made.  I have to tell ya, WAF right now is at a all time low for the HTPC (and probably for me too).

            I would uninstall it, go to the MS Silverlight site and install the latest Silverlight framework and then try installing the NetFlix app.
