[SOLVED] Issue getting Silverlight 5.1 to work using Pipelight

Yesterday I installed wine-silverlight and pipelight to use Silverlight 5.1 in Firefox. I accepted all licenses using

$ pipelight-plugin --accept

and enabled Silverlight using

$ pipelight-plugin --enable silverlight5.1

Everything seems ok so far, I just followed the steps in the wiki.

However, every time I start Firefox, I get several fixme's and install messages, and then the following:

[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] embedded mode         is on.
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] windowless mode       is off.
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] linux windowless mode is off.
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] force SetWindow       is off.
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] window class hook     is on.
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] strict draw ordering  is off.
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] replaced API function CreateWindowExA.
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] replaced API function CreateWindowExW.
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] replaced API function TrackPopupMenuEx.
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] replaced API function TrackPopupMenu.
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] pluginloader.c:371:initDLL(): could not load library 'npctrl.dll' (last error = 126).
[PIPELIGHT:WIN:silverlight5.1] pluginloader.c:786:main(): failed to initialize DLL.
[PIPELIGHT:LIN:silverlight5.1] common.c:168:receiveCommand(): unable to receive data.
[PIPELIGHT:LIN:silverlight5.1] basicplugin.c:128:attach(): error during the initialization of the wine process - aborting.

I already searched for the error message about npctrl.dll not being found, but to no avail.

Anyone?

You could've gotten it from the unofficial repo.  Not sure where to get the missing dll.

I distrust unofficial repos in the beginning, so I rather build wine and pipelight myself (it wasn't such a hassle, though).

The missing dll is just present in ~/.wine-pipelight/drive_c/Program Files/Silverlight/5.1.30514.0

Now I did try to install pipelight from the unofficial repo (you're right, it's signed, so not that bad), which also installed wine-staging, and now Silverlight 5.1 works fine.

Thanks anyway for the hint!
