我想了解必须安装 Silverlight 才能使用我一直在制作的 Silverlight 应用程序的平均用户体验。

我启动了一个带有干净浏览器的虚拟机，假装“是我的爸爸”，只是想查看该网站，然后遇到“您必须安装 Silverlight”按钮。我在下面写下了 Firefox 和 Internet Explorer 的所有步骤。

一般来说，两种浏览器中的 Silverlight 安装令人困惑、令人不安和可怕：由于存在大量安全警告，并且除了中止安装之外缺乏其他选项，您不幸会得到 Silverlight 是特洛伊木马的错误印象各种“可能会通过病毒和恶意代码感染和损害您的计算机”的木马，除了同意安装它并希望得到最好的结果之外，没有明显的选项来保护您的计算机。

此外，我发现你必须下载一个文件，然后找到它，然后执行它，这是我家里的许多人（我上一代）会感到沮丧的一个步骤，这可能是一个原因为什么他们从来没有在他们的机器上安装 Silverlight。

问题：

作为一名程序员，有什么办法可以让这种体验变得更好吗？
Silverlight 是否会随未来版本的浏览器一起提供？
是我们未来对 Flash、Silverlight 和其他第三方浏览器插件的一键式、一条安全消息安装，还是我们希望获得的最佳用户体验：

单击 [保存]
（坐在那里想知道发生了什么）
...最终问某人该怎么做或幸运并右键单击下载消息并选择“打开”
看到：“silverlight 2.0.exe”是一个可执行文件...可能包含病毒.. .恶意代码...损害您的计算机...请小心...您确定吗？...[确定][取消]
尽管担心我的计算机感染了“病毒和恶意代码”，但我点击【确定】

恐惧地点击“运行”

原文

I wanted to get a sense of the average user experience of having to install Silverlight in order to use the Silverlight applications I've been making.

I fired up a virtual machine with clean browsers and pretended to "be my Dad" just wanting to check out the website and then being confronted with the "you must install Silverlight" button. I wrote down all the steps for Firefox and Internet Explorer below.

In general the Silverlight installation in both browsers is confusing, unsettling, and scary: because of the numerous security warnings and lack of options other than to abort installation, you unfortunately get the false impression that Silverlight is a Trojan horse of sorts that "could infect and harm your computer with viruses and malicious code" with no apparent options to protect your computer other than agreeing to install it and hope for the best.

In addition, I found the fact that you have to download a file, then go find it, then execute it, is a step that many people in my family (the generation above me) is going to find frustrating and will likely be a reason why they never get Silverlight installed on their machine.

Questions:

is there way, as a programmer, that I can make this experience better?
is Silverlight going to be shipped with future versions of browsers?
is a one-click, one-security-message install of Flash, Silverlight and other third party browser addons in our future or is this the best user experience we can hope for:

(sit there wondering what happened)
...eventually ask someone what to do or get lucky and right click download message and choose "open"
see: "silverlight 2.0.exe" is an executable file...may contain viruses...malicious code...harm your computer...use caution...are you sure?... [OK] [Cancel]
in spite of the fear that I am infecting my computer with "viruses and malicious code", I click [OK]
see: "Security warning...may potentionally harm your computer..." [Run] [Cancel]
fearfully click "Run"

click [Install Now]
says: "Silverlight is being installed on your computer", then shows checkbox "enable microsoft update (recommended) ... privacy statement..." [Next]

says: "Installation Successful, you may have to refresh the web page..." [Close]
click [Close]
go back to web page and click the refresh button on browser
I see the silverlight application, success.
