Tried several times to install MS Silverlight V1 and 2 BETA to watch NBC's streaming coverage of Olympics...downloads ok but fails to install every time. Firefox 2x, XP, all parameters seem adequate...is it blocked outside of North America? Anyone able to install it here (the error message and subsequent advice from the Silverlight site doesn't help at all.)

Yes have installed it here after two attempts.
Using Firefox 2.0.0.16 on a PC with XP SP3
Not a fan of it as I cannot increase the specific cache to stop the buffering.
FYI - the download was V2 beta

You need a VPN Tunnel try Hotspot Shield.
Its free as well.
After you open it , remember to identify your new ( US ) IP address and search out the zip code as NBC requires it. Choose from any of the TV providers ( it doesn't matter which one ) and -- BINGO !!!!
Happy watching.
