My OOB app was working fine. I stupidly renamed all my namespaces and my project names/filenames. (Eventually) I got it all working again but my OOB shortcut stopped working. I removed and reinstalled it but it will not load and throws an error (see below).
It creates the shortcut on my desktop, but if you look at the Target of the shortcut (right-click, properties) it is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe". I installed some other apps and they have the ApplicationID and the source website in the shortcut (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe" 3143398843.www.microsoft.com).
Hence, when I click on it, it gives me an error like "Usage: sllauncher.exe xyz".
After some googling, it seems as though the .xap and directory under local settings is being created correctly and the .xap and meta data look fine: C:\Documents and Settings\Rod\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Silverlight\OutOfBrowser\1457003494.localhost
When it is creating the shortcut it is just not putting the ApplicationID into it - I have turned off and turned on OOB support, restarted my PC etc. but I cannot get it to work.
After one such attempt, it inserted a whole lot of gibberish: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\sllauncher.exe" ⇴콅䢯㎣鱎㉝眾˚㯘䉘ᇟ薧∀녟፻粨⇴콅䢯㎣鱎㉝眾˚㯘䉘ᇟ薧∀녟፻
Which also failed...
Any ideas please?
