Answer 1

I had the similar problem. Every time I tried to visit a link and install thing I got the same. However, I asked colleagues and they suggested me to install things in the following order:

1. Uninstall everything that has name "Silverlight"
2. Install "Silverlight_5_Toolkit_December_2011.msi"
3. Install "silverlight_5_sdk.exe"
4. Install "Silverlight5_Tools_SP1.exe"
5. Install "Silverlight_Developer_x64.exe"

I had all that packages downloaded in my company, so you will need to find them in internet by yourself. From what I've seen, they are all available. The only matter is direction of installation. This one helped me.

Answer 2

The good link for the last version of « Silverlight Developer Runtime » (Silverlight_Developer_x64.exe or Silverlight_Developer.exe) is :
http://www.microsoft.com/fr-fr/download/details.aspx?id=39597 (French link)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39597 (English link)

The last auto-update of Silverlight just install the standard run-time version.
