ClickOnce Deployment Support

for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge (v77 and later) browsers

Get The Recommended Extension

The recommended extension for ClickOnce Deployment is Cegid Peoplenet ClickOnce launcher (formerly Meta4 ClickOnce Launcher by Meta4 Spain S.A).

Additional Information

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.

Known Issues

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.
