Silverlight OOB Application Path Portability

Question

Silverlight Out-of-browser applications get installed to a seemingly random location:

AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\Silverlight\OutOfBrowser\2333572144.www.microsoft.com

for example.

Currently, I am simply storing this path, which works perfectly well on a single machine and a single install, but how can I refer to this application between different installations?

Answer 1

You shouldn't access the path outside of the isolated storage interface in the application, the path isn't necessarily portable.

Answer 2

In case anyone else is interested:

I was able to use the OriginalSourceUri property in the Silverlight app's metadata to uniquely identify and locate apps in an installation-directory-agnostic way.
