Could not download the Silverlight application. Check web server settings

通常是IIS设置问题参考:

1、在Silverlight中需要使用xap、XAML文件类型，如果您想在IIS服务器上使用 Silverlight程序，所以必须在IIS中注册xaml和xap的MIME文件类型。打开IIS->站点属性->HTTP头 ->MIME类型->新建：

扩展名： .xap
MIME类型：xapapplication/x- silverlight

扩展名： .xaml
　 MIME类型：application/xaml+xml


2、 检查你客户端SL插件是否安装正确

 

 

 

I’ve found that I get this error every time I upload a Silverlight application to a new webserver. IIS does not have the correct settings by default.

The Problem: You ftp a Silverlight App to an IIS website, go to the website in a browser, and get the following error:

Message: Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application
Code: 2104
Category: InitializeError
Message: Could not download the Silverlight application. Check web server settings

The Cause: The Silverlight Mime types (.xaml, .xap and .xbap) are not listed in that websites registered mime types, therefore IIS will not send those files to the browser.

The Solution: Open IIS on the server, go to HTTP headers, click on Mime Types, click “Add New” and add the following:

Extension – Mime Type
.xaml – application/xaml+xml
.xap – application/x-silverlight-app
.xbap – application/x-ms-xbap

Hit Apply and your application will load!
