Silverlight introduces three new file extensions (MIME types):

 

.xaml

.xap

.xbap

 

All these MIME types need to be configured in your IIS. By default, they are already implemented in IIS 7 (and above) in Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista SP1.

 

If you run Windows Vista without SP1, you will have to add these extensions into your IIS.

 

Adding Silverlight MIME types into IIS on Windows Vista

 

1. Open IIS Manager.

 

2. Double-click MIME types in the IIS section.

4. Type the following information:

 

File name extension: .xap

MIME type: application/x-silverlight-app

 

devguide_clip2299

 

5. Click OK.

 

6. Repeat for the other two types:

 

File name extension: .xaml

MIME type: application/xaml + xml

 

File name extension: .xbap

MIME type: application/x-ms-xbap

 

You have now configured your IIS to support Silverlight applications.
