You're welcome Mark. You are allowed to call me Jeremy J

 

I've not seen that shortcut issue. Is this running the Silverlight.exe?

 

My deployment script has a cleanup task to remove the Silverlight folder
from the Start Menu.

 

XP, 2003

RD /s /q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft Silverlight"

 

Vista, 7, 2008, 2008R2

RD /s /q "%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Microsoft
Silverlight"

 

Cheers,

Jeremy.

So I tried the keys and that does work!  Thank you Mr. Saunders. 

 

However, Every time the Silverlight app pops up and I run "local install"
it asks whether I want a shortcut on the Start menu or desktop.  If I click
one it runs great. However my guess is that these short cuts are getting
written to the profile. 

 

Should I assume this is an option the programmer needs to change? 

 

Many thanks guys.

 

Thanks, 

 

Mark

Great I will try the reg keys.

 

So when you publish the Silverlight application..what does your CMD line
look like? 

 

Thanks,

Yep, it's very simple.

 

Get the latest version of Silverlight from:
http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/resources/install.aspx

You can silently install it using /q

Verify your Silverlight installation at:
http://www.microsoft.com/getsilverlight/default.aspx

Push out the following registry changes for users.

--------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Silverlight]

;Disable the popup message and activate Silverlight.

"Activated"=dword:00000001

"PopUpAllowed"=dword:00000000

;Disable automatic updates.

"UpdateMode"=dword:00000002

-------------------------------

 

I've never seen a permissions issue with Silverlight.

 

Cheers,

Jeremy.

I have only had to install the Silverlight software while in /install mode,
change to /execute and had no trouble with users running the web app.  To me
it is just like Flash but without all the security risks and frequent
updates.

We finally have a Silverlight 5 application that I can publish in my farm.
I was hoping someone in the list could point me in the right direction and
answer a few questions.

 

The App is provided by a web page and upon opening it asks if you want to
run the "web" version or the "local install".  Can I assume that this
software runs like the Adobe Flash component. whereas I install it on the
server and then let the user run the web page? 

 

I ask because I tried it and I seem to have run into a permissions issue.
Does anyone out there know what permissions I need change to get silverlight
to work? 

 

I will dig the permissions out but I was hoping for some feedback to make it
run quicker.

 

Publishing the web page works fine however it just isn't as slick looking. 

 

 

Thanks,
