I'm developing a .NET 3.5 XBAP application that runs perfectly fine in FF3 and IE6/7 etc. I'm just wondering if its possible to get these to run under other browsers, specifically (as its in the limelight at the moment) Google Chrome.

At the moment, XBAPs do not work in Google Chrome. I've gotten it to run once, somehow, but every time there after I've received an error that the browser cannot locate xpcom.dll. Apparently this error occurs for more than just XBAP applications. From what I've read users will have to wait for a fix seeing as Chrome is still in beta.
Update:
Looks like it's not going to be fixed: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4051

Good enough answer for me :) I get the same, lets hope they fix it soon because XBAP deployment I'm learning to love!

Have you guys tried this with the development channel version of Chrome? It's no longer in beta.

XBAP applications do work in google chrome, however you have to set your environments PATH variable to the directory where xpcom.dll is located.
for example SET PATH=PATH;"C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox"
