c# - Install VSTO plugin from a URL -


I am trying to install my Outlook plugin to my users. I have Visual Studio in a local folder and I am uploading the publication folder to a local folder and then uploading the setup.exe, .vsto file and application file via FTP to the InstallOutlookPlugin folder on the website. I've never done this before.

My question is, how will users be able to install it? One option is to access, download and run the setup.exe file, but their firewalls will be blocked most often and they will not be able to run the file. The project is signed by my own certificate.

As far as I know, this is a limitation on clickon deployment. The user must download setup.exe and run it You can help by using signtool by signing a setup.exe with the same certificate:

  signtool sign / f "certificate.pfx" / p "password" "setup.exe "  

If they run into security issues, then they must install the installation URL in Internet Explorer> Internet Options & gt; Security & gt; Trusted Sites list

In addition, you can change your deployment strategy to use the installer, such as InstallShield Note: Note: I try to deploy both And installal approach does not work in Outlook 2007, which was a necessity for me. So, I went with ClickOn and just ask people to add the URL to the Trusted Sites list, if necessary. Additionally, click-ON can only be installed at the user level, you must use Microsoft Installer to install on all computers for the computer.
