Since it isn’t a native 64-bit app, it will be in “Program Files (x86)” on a 64-bit machine. NOTE: Because “Program Files” is different on 32- and 64-bit machines you’ll want to make sure your script/installer can handle the determination of where the sllauncher.exe program will be. This would be the main XAP and would be the same one that would be in the Source parameter of the tag where you normally would host this. You’ll also want to have a copy of the XAP handy that you’ll want to be installing. You’ll need to ensure that the plugin is installed as I mentioned earlier. Let’s take a look at the required steps and a scenario.
INSTALL SILVERLIGHT ON IE HOW TO
I’m investigating how to do something similar here with scripting on OSX, but I’m unfortunately not a Mac developer :-). Out-of-browser applications on OSX are actually deployed as ‘apps’ (.app) versus how just the XAP is deployed on a Windows machine. NOTE: The features I’m describing here are for Windows machines. This is installed with the plugin and is located at %ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Silverlight on the machine. Given those two requirements, the key tool at your disposal is sllauncher.exe.

It would also require the ability to install out-of-browser applications (there is a possibility for an administrator to disable this feature).

The function still requires the Silverlight plugin to be installed (and requires Silverlight 4). But again, this post is to merely outline the capabilities and I’ll let you all debate the reasons :-) I know some of you might be thinking Well if it is a managed desktop environment, why not just use WPF then? – and I would pose the same question to the customer as well first. Now I’m not going to write here about the merits of why you might want to do this other than to point out what I believe to be the 2 prominent scenarios: managed desktop deployment and CD/DVD distribution.
INSTALL SILVERLIGHT ON IE SOFTWARE
In some instances where you want to deploy the app via managed desktop software or perhaps via CD-ROM, you don’t want to have to tell the user to start on an HTML page first. Currently every out-of-browser application (trusted or not) starts from an in-browser mechanism. Ran fine for me, prompted to install silverlight for user.One of the features we are introducing in Silverlight 4 is a ‘silent install’ mechanism for out-of-browser applications. help?Įdit: checked to test, same results.
INSTALL SILVERLIGHT ON IE PC
Don't know what directory to assign 'domain user' permissions on client PC to get Silverlight to run. impossible to give users local admin rights. Tl dr: Silverlight won't run on Internet Explorer 8 without Local Admin rights. Internet Explorer is Microsoft, they should work together, no? Our CRM application will only run (render) on Internet Explorer, my users don't want to switch between two different browsers to access their primary applications, but that's the only workaround that I have for them. Out of sheer frustration, I pushed Chrome and Firefox to the offending PC's, had the user log into their PC, and sure enough they were able to launch the Silverlight driven application.

Out of sheer annoyance I logged into the offending PC's as myself (Domain Admin) and was able to get to the Silverlight driven application through Internet Explorer. I checked all the "internet options" areas and cannot find anything that would be blocking the plugin to run. I verified that they do have Silverlight 5 installed on their PC. The users are trying to launch Silverlight applications via Internet Explorer 8 and instead of getting the application, they're being prompted to install Silverlight. I know this is going to end up being one of those problems where there's a checkbox that I keep skipping over. My Desktop Support guys just kicked this ticket up to me, and I have to admit, I'm baffled.
