Having trouble copying an ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight application from one machine to another? I would like to share with you how to transfer ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight applications between machines.
Silverlight Viewer applications are not recognized by the Application Builder Home page if the applications are copied from another machine. To transfer ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight applications from one machine (Computer A) to another (Computer B), follow the steps below.
7. On Computer B, navigate to C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Builder\App_Data and open sites.xml in Notepad.
8. Replace the tags that contain the dummy application name (e.g. test1) with the name of the old application (e.g. test) and save the file.
9. On Computer B, open Application Builder. The old application (e.g. test) is displayed in the Application Builder Home page.
10. On Computer B, delete the dummy application (e.g. test1) from the Apps folder.
