I actually did read those two links in a search I did before I posted here. What I got out of those two articles is that you can not have a fully trusted Silverlight application that is deployed solely throgh the web -- which is what I need. I can't burden the clients with the steps outlined in the first link. It is too complex and to much of a hack. What I would like is the same behavior as an ActiveX control. Click a link. Dialog box appears asking the user if they want to trust my application and with one click of "Yes" it is installed and runs inbedded in the browser not stand alone as the first article describes. Can this be done with Silverlight?
If not I might have to defer to ClickOnce. The only problem with ClickOnce is that it is not possible to pass paramenters while bootstraping .NET. It seems like there is no real easy solution to deploy full trusted web components.
