SLLauncher Error Messages

  • Article

Silverlight uses the sllauncher.exe tool to install, run, and uninstall out-of-browser applications. Additionally, Visual Studio 2010 uses this tool to run out-of-browser applications in emulation mode to enable debugging. You will not typically use this tool directly unless you need to perform these actions in custom scripts.

The following list describes some of the error messages that this tool can display:

  • ERROR_PRODUCT_VERSION (0x80070666) - The application has already been installed for out-of-browser use.
  • E_ACCESSDENIED (0x80070005) - The sllauncher tool requires administrator privileges, which are not currently present.
