OOB Install on MacOSX 10.9 Maverick fails

Question

MacOSX 10.9, Silverlight 5.1.20913.0

Application.Current.Install();

Opens a warning window displaying installation information.

Do you want to install...   ...Publisher:...   ...This application can access.. Cancel ... Install

After clicking Install button the windows closes and visually nothing more happens.

Behind the scenes, in the users Library:Application Support:Microsoft:Silverlight:OutOfBrowser there is a new folder  containing the .xap and some other files.

There was no download progress indicator, there ist no OOB application in the download folder.

Answer 1

The same issue is happening to us as well. We noticed that this problem is only in Safari, while the same exact install dialog works if it was launched from Chrome.

Answer 2

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

I want to confirm with you if this oob application can install on Mac's other version OS? if this is a specific issue to Maverick OS, I recommend you repost this issue to our Connect feedback portal at http://connect.microsoft.com with concise steps for reproducing the problem and what the expected behavior should be.

Our developer will evaluate them seriously and take them into consideration.

Best regards,

Yes, this application installed without problems on previous OS versions on Macs.

Workaround is as follows:

Safari/Settings/Security/Internet-Plugins:Allow Plugins -> Organize Website Settings... select Silverlight on left side, on right side select hostname, pulldown 'Execute in unsecure mode'

Best Regards
