Hi everybody at stackoverflow, I've created a small application which is designed and written in Silverlight 5 (vb). I chose to use the out of browser settings (oob)for the application because I did not want to use a whole page just for a small calculator application. My question is: can I still attach and run the oob application from a website online without a user ever having to download it to be able to use it? What is the procedure for deployment to a server? I'm assuming that once deployed to the server a link from the web page would enable running of the application? I'm a complete novice in this area so any advice would be much appreciated. Kind regards Will.

Yes, of course. OOB mode only adds some security permissions (and can be installed as desktop app), but it still will be downloaded from web source.

In the OOB settings it gives you the option to show the install menu. If I leave this option unchecked does this mean that any users do not have the option to download and install? What I want to avoid is for anyone to download the app. I just want to keep it online. – user1772044 Oct 31 '12 at 21:43
