This will not work.

You could run a virtualized Windows OS to get it going but I am unsure of performance. You will also need a valid Windows install license and media.

I tried to run my windows7 x64 on virtual following a link but it just would not accept the windows 7. i did not even get as far as putting in a key or serial (which i have).
i will try again.

Silverlight will run on windows back to XP so if you have an older version of windows to install that may help. Virtualbox or similar may have an easier time running 32-bit XP or Vista rather than 64-bit Win 7. Depending on your hardware.

You won't get silverlight to run under Wine and there is no Linux equivalent,

The other option if you can't get a virtual Windows to work is to dual boot of course.
