Currently, there are different versions of MS Sliverlight installed on all workstations throughout the organization.  I want to update those to the most current one using sccm.
I have searched everywhere, but I can't seem to find a clear instruction on how to go about doing the update. If anyone has done silverlight update using SCCM, please help.                           

Try to download the silver light offline and create application and deployed to the cilent http://www.markcorsillo.com/?p=130 http://www.itninja.com/software/microsoft/silverlight/5-2022 https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4f81fc93-5f19-4ecd-96f2-ee91e34926b5/silverlight-5-update-via-sccm?forum=configmgrgeneral

You could download the silverlight client and deploy it like you would a normal application. 

If you use the .exe it will update the older version

if you use the MSI you need to remove version 4 or the msi will cry about it.

Go to http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/Get-Started/Install/Default.aspx, and download silverlight.exe.
Silent installation from the .exe:

silverlight.exe /q

(doing a silent install from the .exe will also upgrade previous versions without the prior need to uninstall)

If you want to use the .msi, you can extract is by running silverlight.exe /extract. You'll also see a silverlight.7z file, from which you can extract silverlight.msp using WinZip (or your choice of unzipper). You can discard all other files except for the .msi and .msp.

You can then do a silent installation from the .msi, but first uninstall Silverlight 4.0 if it's installed otherwise it'll complain:

start /w msiexec.exe /X{89F4137D-6C26-4A84-BDB8-2E5A4BB71E00} /qn

Then, install 5.0:

start /w msiexec /i silverlight.msi /update Silverlight.msp ALLUSERS=2 /qn /LiV %temp%\Silverlight5.log


Silent uninstallation of 5.0 using the .exe:

silverlight /qu

Silent uninstallation of 5.0 using msiexec (same GUID as Silverlight 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0):

start /w msiexec.exe /X{89F4137D-6C26-4A84-BDB8-2E5A4BB71E00} /qn

Also if you are using SCCM to push windows update make sure you have the silverlight category select and make sure you keep them up to date using windows update.

You could also just use software updates as Silverlight updates are in the WSUS catalog.
