FYI review: Fix for SL build

Fix to irtests.rb for changing Silverlight install folder (it has
changed once again to 3.0.40818.0)

Looks good – that’s definitely the right change. Maybe Dev.bat should
find the Silverlight path in a similar way and save it as
%SilverlightPath%, and then the Silverlight build aliases will just pick
up that variable instead of hard-coding it a bunch of places? Does batch
have some type of regex/pattern matching support?

Just curious, how did you get prompted to install the updated version?
Did an app prompt you to update or did you just reinstall SL for some
reason?

Ruby does, so we could make a Ruby script that finds the folder, then
set %SilverlightPath% to the output of that script. That might end up
useful in other places too.

Yup, it would have to be Ruby (or Python or powershell).

This is a new machine. I just installed the internal (ITG) version of
Win7. I think it came with this version of Silverlight.
