OK, those sound like the right packages. Did you copy the whole
moonlight directory, i.e. the 2.0 and 2.0-redist directory structure?

You might be able to find better errors by looking in the MD log: view
-> other windows -> message log.

Also, make sure that your MD target runtime is Mono, not .NET.
