ISSUES

1. [New issue] Can't make IronPython a prerequisite
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/32598
User Snusmumriken71 has proposed the issue:

"As we are delivering a product with integrated IronPython scripting support, I thought it would be great to have the installer included in our installation as a prerequisite. Much like other, Microsoft-internal required binaries, it would the automatically be installed prior to our product.

I am using the Bootstrapper Manifest Generator (since we're, unfortunately, stuck with the old .vdproj installer project type for a while). Making a bootstrapper package out of the IronPython MSI is easy. The problem comes when we try our new installation with the ironpython package included, it then always aborts with the message that the msi "either has been changed since it was initially published, or is corrupt". I'm beginning to think it's the latter of the two, since doing a validation of the msi in e.g. ORCA reports a large amount of warnings, and when I try making a prerequisite out of another products' MSI using the same technique it goes fine as well."-----------------

2. [New comment] IronPython engine fails to load under Silverlight (MethodAccessException)

User jdhardy has commented on the issue:

"Fixed in 6593423."-----------------

3. [New issue] Occasional build error for Silverlight targets
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/32602
User KeithJRome has proposed the issue:

"I'm not really sure why this issue doesn't show up more reliably. When building the latest IronPython.Modules for Silverlight targets, the compiler will intermittently return failure with the following error message (and provides no source line number):

Predefined type 'Microsoft.CSharp.RuntimeBinder.Binder' is not defined or imported.
One or more types required to compile a dynamic expression cannot be found. Are you missing references to Microsoft.CSharp.dll and System.Core.dll?"
