The download link you've downloaded is only the service pack, not the full product. You first need to download Visual Studio 2010 RTM. You either need to download Visual Studio Professional from MSDN Subscriptions (or install it from media) or use the Visual Web Developer 2010 Express edition, then install Service Pack 1 and the Silverlight Tools.

I hope you are aware that Silverlight is a Deprecated technology and will not be further invested in in future version of Visual Studio.
