How to solve Unhandled Error in Silverlight Application Code: 2104

The Solution: Open IIS on the server, go to HTTP headers, click on Mime Types, click "Add New" and add the following:
Extension - Mime Type
.xaml - application/xaml+xml
.xap - application/x-silverlight-app
.xbap - application/x-ms-xbap
Hit Apply and your application will load!
