Is there a way to programatically popup the "Microsoft Silverlight Configuration" dialog?

I am build开发者_如何学Cing for Silverlight 4, and I handle MouseRightButtonDown events and build my own ContextMenu's (a class from the Silverlight Toolkit). I would like to add the classic "Silverlight" menu item to my menus, and give the user the familiar option of launching the "Microsoft Silverlight Configuration" dialog. This is the dialog lets users manage Updates, Webcams, Permissions, and Application Storage. So I need a way to programatically launch the dialog when the menu item is clicked.

I can be done for Flash, and it would seem that Microsoft would want to encourage developers to support that option.

Can it be done?

Here is the answer no likes to give: no. Currently there is no exposure in the Silverlight API to invoke the display of the Silverlight configuration dialog.

I would agree that such a feature ought to exist.

Edit

In response to your additional question. In an elevated SL4 OOB app it may be possible to get the scripting shell to launch the Silverlight.Configuration.exe. You find this file at:-

%programfiles%\Microsoft Silverlight\4.0.50401.0\Silverlight.Configuration.exe

Note that http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc645084(v=vs.95).aspx says:

Users can also access this dialog box from the Microsoft Silverlight folder on the Start menu or through a configuration application. On Windows, this application is found in one of the following locations:

On 32-bit operating systems: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Silverlight\versionNumber\Silverlight.Configuration.exe

On 64-bit operating systems: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Silverlight\versionNumber\Silverlight.Configuration.exe

On Macintosh computers, users can access the configuration application by following these steps: 1. In Finder, navigate to /Library/Internet Plug-Ins.

1. Right-click (or press CTRL and then click) Silverlight.plugin and then select Show package contents.

2. Navigate to Contents/Resources and then double-click Silverlight.Preferences.app.

From what I understand you can have Elevated Trust OOB apps on Mac OS X too (to access the filesystem), but not sure if that gives you a way to launch some local app or you need COM interop which is only available for Silverlight Elevated Trust apps on Windows (either OOB or in-browser too with Silverlight 5)
