Deploying the Application to the Client
One of the great features of Silverlight is that you can go from a “clean PC” (a machine without Silverlight installed or the application downloaded) to being up and running with the application in a matter of minutes. This makes Silverlight a very effective means of deploying applications to client machines. By default, the HTML page that hosts the Silverlight plug-in notifies the user if they don't have Silverlight installed, and points them to a link where they can download the Silverlight runtime and install it. After the Silverlight runtime is installed, the HTML page will be automatically refreshed and the download of the application will begin, running it after the download is complete.
