Deploy Clickonce Non Azure

soetie

Hi there,

im struggling with deploying the clickonce client on my NAV 2017 enviroment.
I have searched for a solution but cant find it directly.
Sometimes the app wont download.
Sometimes the app wont start, and crashed.

I have found serveral sites and scripts, but most of them are based on Azure.

Is there some on who is having scripts to set this up easily with powershell?

Thanks

Hi, i have tried it but cant get it to work.
I have found a powershell script.. it does work with the cronus demo environment but when i install an addon and run the script again it will fail. (instance is on navuserpassword combination and has a self signed certificate for test:

Having 2 issues.
1 i have to change manuallly the location of the download in this file:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\http\addon\Deployment\Microsoft.Dynamics.Nav.Client.application
(the file comes standard without the http section, so download cannot be found. When it put http in the application file it will download. (default without addon)

2. when i install my addon and run the script again, im getting this error log:
application is inproperly formatted

I would expect that the website for the click once deployment couldn't access the RTC client package from the file location (System: 404 not found). I expect a fault in the path to the package or in the security settings on the file/share. The application pool used for the click once website should be able to read the package. (assuming the website hands over the package to the user, maybe the websites directs the user directly to the package, i don't know).
