This relates to the IIS settings.
add MIME types to IIS to resolve.
inetmgr -- > select ur silverlight applciation -->Right click Properties --> HTTP Headers -- MIME Map --> File Types -- New Types -->
Add one by one the below mentioned:
Associated Extension Content Type(MIME)
.xaml application/xaml+xml
.xap application/x-silverlight-app
.manifest application/manifest
.application application/x-ms-application
.xbap application/x-ms-xbap
.deploy application/octet-stream
.xps application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument

That would be negative. I double checked my MIME types and all is correct...in fact, I edited all of my MIME ytpes, just in case there eas a typo.. The error still appears with my Ubuntu/Firefox machines.

| Configuring IIS for Silverlight Applications |
| KBA-01067-8Q0ZNL |
| Purpose & Scope |
|
Microsoft® SilverlightTM is a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering the next generation of .NET based media experiences and rich interactive applications for the Web. Silverlight offers a flexible programming model that supports AJAX, VB, C#, Python, and Ruby, and integrates with existing Web applications. Silverlight supports fast, cost-effective delivery of high-quality video to all major browsers running on the Mac OS or Windows.
In most cases, hosters do not need to perform particular deployments to support Silverlight. However, check for the following basic items that could prevent Silverlight from functioning correctly.
|
| Procedure |
MIME Types
In Windows Server 2008 IIS 7.0
All MIME types needed to support Silverlight are implemented by default in Windows Server 2008 IIS 7.0 and Windows Vista SP1. Windows Vista RTM customers can add mime types by running 'IIS Manager', clicking on 'Mime Types', then clicking 'add' and adding the following mime types:
- .xap application/x-silverlight-app
- .xaml application/xaml+xml
- .xbap application/x-ms-xbap
Alternatively, you can add the following mime types to your %windir%\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationHost.config file in the <staticContent> section.
<mimeMap fileExtension='.xaml' mimeType='application/xaml+xml' />
<mimeMap fileExtension='.xap' mimeType='application/x-silverlight-app' />
<mimeMap fileExtension='.xbap' mimeType='application/x-ms-xbap' />
In Windows Server 2003 IIS 6.0
To enable IIS 6.0 in Windows Server 2003 or IIS7 in Windows Vista RTM with the appropriate MIME Types, add:
- .xap application/x-silverlight-app
- .xaml application/xaml+xml
- .xbap application/x-ms-xbap
Here is a VBS script you could run to enable each of these types:
Const ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE = 2
'
if WScript.Arguments.Count < 2 then
WScript.Echo 'Usage: ' + WScript.ScriptName + ' extension mimetype'
WScript.Quit
end if
'
'Get the mimemap object.
Set MimeMapObj = GetObject('IIS://LocalHost/MimeMap')
'
'Get the mappings from the MimeMap property.
aMimeMap = MimeMapObj.GetEx('MimeMap')
'
' Add a new mapping.
i = UBound(aMimeMap) + 1
Redim Preserve aMimeMap(i)
Set aMimeMap(i) = CreateObject('MimeMap')
aMimeMap(i).Extension = WScript.Arguments(0)
aMimeMap(i).MimeType = WScript.Arguments(1)
MimeMapObj.PutEx ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE, 'MimeMap', aMimeMap
MimeMapObj.SetInfo
'
WScript.Echo 'MimeMap successfully added: '
WScript.Echo ' Extension: ' + WScript.Arguments(0)
WScript.Echo ' Type: ' + WScript.Arguments(1)
If you copy and paste the code above into a VBS file and save it as ADDMIMETYPE.VBS the syntax to add each type would be:
ADDMIMETYPE.VBS .xap application/x-silverlight-app ADDMIMETYPE.VBS .xaml application/xaml+xmlADDMIMETYPE.VBS .xbap application/x-ms-xbap
Using the IIS Manager User Interface in Windows Server 2003 IIS 6.0
1. Go to Start\Administrative Tools and run IIS Manager, see figure below:
2. Right click on the server name and select 'Properties', see figure below:
3. In the Properties Dialog, click on the 'MIME Types' button, see figure below:
4. In the 'MIME Types' Dialog, click the 'New' button, see figure below:
5. In the 'MIME Type' Dialog enter one MIME Type at the time:
.xap application/x-silverlight-app
.xaml application/xaml+xml
.xbap application/x-ms-xbap
see figure below:

I'm having the same issue. I have a 64 bit Windows Server 2003 that I've added the mime types to but to no avail. I've tried to run the script but I get an error on the Set MimeMapObj = GetObject('IIS://localhost/MimeMap') line where it gives a 800A03Ea error code. I've tried to edit the config file directly but can't locate it. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Check through the GUI that it has been added, or manually add it yourself.

I have verified and that is why I'm confused. I've also verified that Silverlight is installed with Frameworks 2, 3.5 SP 1 Thanks

As a curious point, the two alternatives (directly writing the file and the vbscript) do not work. The file does not seem to exist while the vbscript produces an 800A03EA error when trying to do the Set MimeMapObj = GetObject('IIS://localhost/MimeMap') command. Thanks

Because this is a Server Configuration issue, our ability to assist you is limited. As you no doubt are aware, the configuration of a server to deliver Silverlight is up to the server Administrator. Our suggestions would go something like this. 1. Gain help form a professional Administrator or host company to get them to configure - or 2. Check permissions, and file availability, Google the error and check Silverlight Forums for tips - or 3. Put in a ticket with Microsoft for Assistance in configuring the server - or 4. Use another server. As you would expect, once you get the server configured to setup silverlight, the module should work just fine. We are not doing anything special in the way silverlight is served up.

I understand what you're saying. The interesting thing is that I have a working hello world silverlight application working under the DNN site (just have put it up there) at http://gtt.com/SilverlightApplication1TestPage.aspx . Because that is working, I'm rather confused as to why your module is not working. Any ideas?
Thanks

Thank you so much for your time! I'm trying to digest what your post means. Obviously that the server is not configured correctly but I'm trying to digest exactly what you did so I can take next steps in removing DNN (and the module) from the mix of problems. I will read your link and report any new observations and the eventual fix as to what my problem exactly was once I have it fixed. Thank You!

Sometimes the best way to troubleshoot is to load a really simple test silverlight file, and get that working.
