Today, while watching Netflix, a message popped up that said "Silverlight Instillation Program Error Code: 2014." The message says that in order to fix the problem, I need to uninstall and then reinstall Silverlight. I have done so multiple times, but Netflix still won't play. I tried to see if Netflix will play on IE, and it does, so I'm not really sure what my problem is.

I am running Firefox 15.0.1, Microsoft Silverlight 5 (5.1.10411.0), and Windows 7 (64-bit)

I had this problem too. Here's a sure fix for MAC users:

  1. Access your hard drive (double click the hard drive icon in finder)
  2. Find the silverlight plugin (navigate to your Internet Plug-Ins directory: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/)
  3. Remove the silverlight plugin (drag any of the following into your trash bin: 
       * Silverlight.plugin 
       * WPFe.plugin
  1. Empty your trash bin
  2. Go to www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/ using your Firefox browser.
  3. Download and install silverlight
  4. Restart Firefox

ALL FIXED! :) What a relief. This was driving me crazy.
