Let's say I have a SL app, which can run out of browser. Now I can install it alright. Tim Heuer has a great article how to handle it nicely.

But what if user already installed it? Can I somehow start it right from the browser? You can get the status of the app and if it's installed already, you can show a button or something, right? And then, when user clicks the button, I want to run installed version of the OOB app.

Is it possible?

  • You can detect it, you can provide a nice splash screen saying that you've detected the installation, but actually running is off the security limits. I'll agree that it's a shame. – jv42 Dec 22 '11 at 15:51
  • I guess the only way is to put a nice instruction or a video how to launch the app... That's still lousy... – iLemming Dec 22 '11 at 16:02
