Test a XAML in XP, service pack 2Hi folks, I have installed .net 3.0 framework sucessfully in a machine with
XP, service pack 2. In the window explorer, I clicked a simplest XAML file, I got error message, "...msctf.dll not found...." . Then, I copied it into the local web server, and I tried to access it, I got the similar error. The xaml is as below: <Page xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" WindowTitle="Xaml Page"><StackPanel> <Button HorizontalAlignment="Center" Margin="24">Hello, XAML!</Button> </StackPanel></Page> Please advise, Thanks. Peter Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. Then, I know that I might not process wrong. I asked around my colleagues, and nobody can tell my machine is Cat PC or not. Thanks again.

Sorry, I should have precised this earlier. I am trying to find out what faulty PCs have in common, in order to try and solve the problem. We have our IT looking into it too, I'll try and follow up here if we find the problem.

Thanks for your response for clarity. When I tried out most of the WPF examples, I created a proj file to build it by msbuild, defining the source as *.cs. Then I double-click the exe file to see the application product first. Then, I walked through the code. Finally, I did the reading. This is my personal learning style. I have not installed the SDK at work yet. I copied a SayHello.exe file from home to my computer at work, I double-clicked it, it works. It is the environment with only .net 3.0 runtime installed. Now I feel much more comfortable that I am potentially able to use WPF technology for the client mahcines with XP. Thanks again.

You can double-click on a XAML file
in Vista, and it will run it. However, if you double-click on a XAML file on a Windows XP machine, it will not run it. In order to run it on an XP machine, you have to compile and build it first, which is what Visual Studio does. That's the official word. I read that in the first chapter of the XAML reference put out by O'Reilly in 2006. So apparently there's something in Vista that's not in XP. You can get something to compile and build XAML w/o Visual Studio, but it's not as simple? Also, Petzold (who wrote the definitive book on WPF) has a XAML Cruncher I think on his website that you can use to write and run XAML. So that's the story on that. HTH.

Thanks for the idea of Xaml Cruncher. For security reason, I could not download a executable file directly in my office. Instead, I found the XamlPad is one of the tool for .net 3.0 SDK in March 2007 CTP. It seems that it serves the same purpose. Now I can render a standalone Xaml file in a machine with XP.

By the way, I have found that some xaml files will open in
my WinXP, and some won't. Someone I know who teaches a WPF class said xaml files will open on one of his computers, but not the other one, both running WinXP, and we're talking about trying to open the same xaml file on both computers. So there's something wonky going on there. BTW, the XAML cruncher's code is in the code download for Charles Petzold's book, on his website. I installed it originally from his website, but having no exe, couldn't create a OpenWith entry, then realized I had the darn code. It's a little more elegant than XamlPad, with a few more features. And it's a WPF application itself. Interesting. Good luck.
