Everyone, I remember a few months ago at an SDDN meeting we were talking about options to start an OOB App like looking at the shortcuts in the start menu or trying to guess based on the random paths that the app might get installed on. I found a nice option. Essentially we use the 'origin' as the key instead of trying to find the path to the xap.
>From Tim Heuer >blog<http://timheuer.com/blog/archive/2010/03/25/using-sllauncher-for-silent-install-silverlight-application.aspx> Automatically Launching the App So what if you wanted to also automatically launch the app after installing (i.e., the CD/DVD ‘autorun’ scenario). You again would use sllauncher.exe to do this for you *after you’ve installed the app*. Using our same sample above here would be the command: 1: "%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe" 2: /emulate:"Silverface.xap" 3: /origin:"http://www.silverlight.net/content/samples/apps/facebookclient/ClientBin/Silverface.xap"; 4: /overwrite Notice the *emulate* command. This is the launcher. Now you’ll notice that this isn’t the same command-line options if you looked at an installed applications’ created shortcuts. Because the folder where the XAP gets installed is pretty random, we use the origin as the hint to the sllauncher.exe program to find the right app for us and start it up. I’ve found that using /overwrite will also give a more consistent behavior. -- Miguel A. Madero Reyes www.miguelmadero.com (blog) m...@miguelmadero.com
