Silverlight 3 Deployment issue.

I can run it on my dev machine, but I cannot run it when deployed to a Win2003 server:

-- update --

any chance this is related to the Silverlight Toolkit?

http://www.codeplex.com/Silverlight

It is not required to install that on the deployement box, corrrect?

Hi Roger,

I'm unable to reproduce this issue, It shouldn't be a toolkit problem, have you tried to deploy a simple "Hello world" app on the target machine to see if IIS is properly working and configured?

Good point. I created a Silverlight 3 app from the Business Application template, and successfully deployed it. I then added controls from the toolkit, and successfully deployed that. So it appears this is my application, not the server I am deploying to.

Do you fix the problem now? from the exception message, it seems that error occurs when create ChildWindow instance.

I just xcopy. The only deployment issues I had were 1) when I used the new RIA Silverlight.Application tag in the hosting page -- that worked in dev but not server; and, 2) had to manually deploy Crystal Reports dlls until I built my msi (and had to manually add them there as well, even though they were marked as Copy Always).

I believe I have this isolated to a caching issue with IE only.

I cannot recreate it on any other browser (they all open the site just fine). The settings in IIS for instant expiration do not seem to make a difference, nor do the 'every time I visit the page' setting for temporary internet files. I am forced to manually remove cache when I deploy. Very frustrating. Especially since my product owner cannot seem to clear the cache at all. He is forced to use Safari to view each new iteration of the project.

I have the same issue. I cannot show any ChildWindow without getting that 4004 error.
