Could not download the silverlight application

Hello, I did a web site with 2 silverlight projects.

when I execute and try to run the silverlight test page. Im having an error saying:

sys.InvalidOperationException...
Could not download the silverlight application. check web server settings.

I am actually inside VS2008 trying to run localhost via ASP.NET Development Server ...

to you know what is the problem ?

This error means the mime type of the Silverlight application is not supported on your webserver. If you're certain you're using the asp.net webserver (is your url localhost:PORTNUMBER or localhost/VIRTUALDIRECTORY?) then your installation is not correct.you need to reinstall VWD, service pack and silverlight tools.

VWD ?
this could be casued by the source being specified incorrectly in the web page
the source was indeed incorrect. but when changing to ~/ClientBin/Debug/my.xap"
the error AG_E_Unknown_Error at InitializeComponent() comes back...


I starting to find that complicated for nothing...
