Crazy error getting from Silver Light while your trying to open newly installed skype for business 2015 on top of Windows Server 2016.


Since i installed Silverlight already i was checking control panel the version what i installed its latest and which you can confirm by going to this URL - https://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/locale/en-us/html/Microsoft%20Silverlight%20Release%20History.htm 


 


According to above web and control panel it says same version but my setup cant access the configuration wizard getting following error.





to fix nothing do just that add this URL (https://<pool01FQDN>/cscp to trusted sites and refresh the page then this will go.


Note: This error will mislead to check on other browser version and etc and you might check supported version for WinSvr 2016. No required those.


Hope this will save your time.
