The recommended extension for ClickOnce Deployment is Cegid Peoplenet ClickOnce launcher (formerly Meta4 ClickOnce Launcher by Meta4 Spain S.A).
PC-Duo v12.5 and later support using the Google Chrome browser, and the "new" Microsoft Edge (v77 and later) browser, for accessing the Web Console. However, because the Web Console uses Microsoft Windows ClickOnce deployment for the Host on Demand ("Share my Desktop"), Remote Desktop Connection Window, and Recording Player Window, some additional requirements apply.
These browsers do not have native support for Microsoft Windows ClickOnce deployment. An addin is required to provide this support. There are several good choices to provide this support.PC-Duo v13.5 hotfix#3 and later support using the Cegid Peoplenet ClickOnce launcher. This was formerly known as the Meta4 ClickOnce Launcher by Meta4 Spain S.A. These versions of PC-Duo support all versions of the Cegid Peoplenet/Meta4 launcher including the 2023 releases of v1.3 and v1.4 of this extension. This is the recommended extension to support ClickOnce deployment for all current PC-Duo versions.
PC-Duo v13.0 and later supports using ClickOnce for Google Chrome by menarva.com (Menarva Ltd). This is the recommended extension if the Meta4 extension is not available or appropriate.
PC-Duo v13.0 and later also supports using Windows Remix ClickOnce Helper by windowsremix.com.
The extension IE Tab by Blackfish Software uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer engine within the browser application frame to render selected web sites. By using the Internet Explorer engine, all IE features are supported, including ClickOnce deployment support. This extension is available for both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
The Microsoft Edge browser includes a built-in "Internet Explorer mode" that also uses the Microsoft Internet Explorer engine with the Edge browser frame to render websites. This feature may need to be enabled in Settings > Default Browser (enter "edge://settings/defaultbrowser" in the address bar), and then sites can be reloaded by picking the "Reload in Internet Explorer Mode" menu item. By using the Internet Explorer engine, all IE features are supported, including ClickOnce deployment support.
On January 19, 2023, the extension known as Meta4 ClickOnce Launcher was updated to v1.3. This version changed some internal configuration parameters in a way that prevented PC-Duo Web Console from detecting its presence. On January 30, 2023, the extension was updated to v1.4 and rebranded as Cegrid Peoplesnet ClickOnce launcher, with the same internals. PC-Duo v13.5 Hotfix#3 supports these new versions, and a patch is available for PC-Duo v13.4 and v13.5 prior to Hotfix#3 to fix this issue.
