I really wanna do cross platform applications. I have great experience in .NET, so the only option is Silverlight. But it’s not as powerful as WPF (yet).
Is it possible to use WPF’s controls like Menu & ToolBar?
Is it possible to make real installers for Silverlight apps? (Not just out of browser install.)
Is it really worth it, or should I just use Qt?
Thank you
Silverlight is a great option for a number of reasons:
Also, you can find a good reference example of creating an installer for Silverlight here:

Just keep in mind some things will break cross-platform, like using com interop, but as long as you avoid those you should be able to accomplish what you’re looking for with Silverlight.
