When I tried to view the Microsoft Expression Blend project I made in Internet Explorer, it came up with an icon telling me to install Silverlight. I already have Silverlight 2 point whatever, but it won’t give me a preview of my project. Is there a reason?

And yes, just for kicks, I reinstalled Silverlight and it still won’t work. Any suggestions, hints, or solutions?
