LightSwitch application shows out-of-browser error after deploying (ev. a SilverLight problem)

Question

After a successfull deployment to the local IIS I can't start the desktop client.
I start my LightSwitch application with
http://localhost/LSPrototyp3/DesktopClient/default.htm.
SilverLight loads, but the error "Out-of-browser specific settings do not affect in-browser applications" is displayed.
Following the instructions of MSDN documentation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg192793(v=vs.95).aspx I also created the registry value AllowElevatedTrustAppsInBrowser both for 32 and 64 bit.
Here's my environment:
Windows 8.1 Enterprise Version 6.3.9600 Build 9600 running in VMware Player 6.0.1 build-1379776
Host OS version: Windows 7 Enterprise, 64-bit  (Build 7600) 6.1.7600
Visual Studio Professional 2013 Version 12.0.30501.00 Update 2
.NET Framework Version 4.5.51641
LightSwitch for Visual Studio 2013
Database: Microsoft SQL Server Express (64-bit) 11.0.2100.60
IIS version 8.5.9600.16384
My application LsPrototyp3 runs under this circumstances:
- Starting the application within Visual Studio 2013 in both debug or release mode.
- Deploying the complete application as local desktop an start it by clicking on LsPrototyp3.application manifest.
This  deployment installs successfully, but displays the above mentioned error:
Application Type: Complete application
App Server Configuration: IIS
Publish Output: Create Package.. | Publish directly... (both tried out)
Security setting: no https
Application Type: Desktop | Web (both tried out)
Authentication: Windows Authentication
Deployment on local host:
Started script LsPrototyp3.deploy.cmd /Y /M:MyMachine  /G: [True|False] (both tried out) with run as administrator.
My target is to let the user select between a local desktop installation of the software by click-once,
or to let the application run as "in-browser" where no installation should be necessairy, except the installation of silverlight.
In my opinion I followed all steps of the documented instructions for deployment, but there are certainly some unmentioned side-conditions.
Do I need any deployment service on my local IIS or do I simply call the wrong path of my application installed in iis?
Thanks for your help

Hi Hans,
For Desktop applications hosted on the web, LightSwitch can get updates by using the Out-of-browser functionality built-in to Silverlight .
For this issue, it's recommended to turn on tracing to get the detailed error message and that will help you troubleshoot. Here's info how to debug that message:

Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help.
