Why I can't run the xbap application whats the wrong?

Answer 1

You need to go to Internet Option --> Security Tab --> Custom level... --> and Enable the option XAML browser applications .

I think I don't need to say this but you need to make this change for every client you want to run your app. It was a security change introduced in IE9 for Internet Zones.

I sucessfully run your app. It has some books in one shelve. ;)

Answer 2

For the BrowserApp.xbap to run there must be 2 other files located at the same site:

BrowserApp.exe.manifest

and

BrowserApp.exe

Answer 3

我没有测试过这个，但不是允许所有站点运行 XBAP，另一种方法可能是在 IE11 中为该特定站点启用企业模式，希望这意味着它在 IE8 模式下运行，这反过来意味着应该启用 XBAP互联网专区。

Answer 4

I had a couple of end users report this issue when connecting to an intranet application but got the error when the user tried to run the xbap file. Here's what I did to solve it for those users.

1. Close browsers
2. Delete temporary internet files in local appsdata folder
3. Set Internet explorer as default browser
