PowerView Add In for Excel not Detecting Silverlight, Trouble installing silverlight for Powerview Excel Add in

I came across this situation where I have enabled PowerView on excel and still it kept on saying that SilverLight is installed, even when Silverlight is installed on my computer. The reason for this is, the version of silverlight installed was the one downloaded through chrome ( or any other browser, not Internet Explorer). For powerview to work,  you need to download Silverlight through Internet Explorer and install. This would solve the problem.
