Question

Does the Laserfiche application installation support ClickOnce deployments? How?

asked on April 9, 2014 Show version history

I received this question as part of an RFP response.  I am particularly interested in the HOW part of this question.  Thank you.

 

EDIT: From Wikipedia - ClickOnce is a Microsoft technology that enables the user to install and run a Windows-based smart client application by clicking a link in a web page. ClickOnce is a component of Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and later, and supports deploying applications made with Windows Forms or Windows Presentation Foundation. It is similar to Java Web Start for the Java Platform or Zero Install for Linux.

My understanding is that ClickOnce is an alternative method for CREATING the installations in the first place. That is, we could author our installations using ClickOnce (except we can't because we rely on components such as merge modules which ClickOnce can't handle) or Windows Installer. I'm not that familiar with ClickOnce, but I don't think that 'deploying someone else's non-ClickOnce installations through ClickOnce' is actually a thing.

 

ADDED: If you're asking about the ability to push out the installation package in an unattended fashion through a domain controller, yes the installations support that. But that's not ClickOnce.

The Laserfiche installation packages are written and deployed using Windows Installer, not ClickOnce.

Hi Justin, because ClickOce is a MS technology, and the LF installation packages are written and deployed using windows installer, one would assume that Laserfiche could be deployed using this technology, correct?
