These plugins are installed and enabled automatically. To use the plugins, you must have an active license for the TestComplete Desktop module.
You can check to see if these plugins are active by selecting File | Install Extensions from the TestComplete main menu. If one of these plugins is not available, you need to run the TestComplete installation in the Modify mode.

You can get the latest version of Silverlight from Microsoft’s web site:

Test Project Requirements
To recognize windows of the tested out-of-browser Silverlight application via the UI Automation technology and to obtain scripting access to the application’s controls, TestComplete requires that your TestComplete project be configured in a special way. See the Preparing Test Projects for Testing Out-of-Browser Silverlight Applications topic for detailed instructions on how you can configure your test project so that the TestComplete UI Automation engine can recognize objects of out-of-browser Silverlight applications.
