In this article we are going to see about how to install a Silverlight OOB application through a setup project. Silverlight OOB applications shortly OOBs are much like desktop applications that can be installed, launched and uninstalled. These OOBs are normally installed from the browser by right clicking the Silverlight control and selecting Install app into this computer, but there are times we have to look into alternate ways of installation for example when we want the OOB app to be easily distributable from machine to machine or to install the OOB as part of batch installation etc. This article helps to understand how to install an OOB application through a setup project.
I've split the article into below main sections to help readers understand easily.
- A little theory - In this section we are going to see about what is sllauncher and how we can use it to manually install, uninstall an OOB application from the command prompt.
- Project Plan - In this section we are going to discuss about our project plan and what are the things need to be configured in the setup project.
- Custom Installer - In this section we will see about the Installer base class methods that need to be overridden and how to practically invoke the sllauncher for installing or uninstalling a sample application.
