Installing Silverlight applications without the browser involved

One of the features we are introducing in Silverlight 4 is a ‘silent install’ mechanism for out-of-browser applications. Currently every out-of-browser application (trusted or not) starts from an in-browser mechanism. In some instances where you want to deploy the app via managed desktop software or perhaps via CD-ROM, you don’t want to have to tell the user to start on an HTML page first.

Quite good feature, in some companies they just have thousand of machines and they want to minimize network bandwith, you can make a silent deploy of an OOB silverlight application and make it automatically (deploying from a local storage and in an unattended way).
