I've just written a Silverlight app and want to deploy it. This app is NOT to be hosted at a website. It is supposed to be a standalone app, just like a standalone WPF app for Windows, but (if I understand Silverlight correctly) it can run on both Windows and Mac.

I've created a .xap file. What do I do with this file to get the app installed? Thanks.

You do need to install it from a website as it still requires the Silverlight environment provided by the browser plugin.

It is the browser plugin that provides the OOB (Out Of Browser) mode.

I gather Adobe Air has the same requirements for apps.

In addition to what @HiTech Magic stated, you can also create a standalone installer for silverlight OOB apps using SLLauncher.exe.
