Desklighter
Desklighter is a windows utility that creates standalone windows applications from Silverlight xap files. Desklighter helps you in sharing your Silverlight applications as independent executables without having to worry about the hosting infrastructure. Unlike the Silverlight Out-of-Browser(OOB) applications that run only on the installed computer, executables created by Desklighter are truly portable.
