Hi, 

 

Does anyone know of a way to install the IFS addons (from the /add-on.html page) now that IE is no longer an option?

The ‘https://URL:PORT/add-on/officeaddins/docmanofficeaddin/Ifs.Application.Docman.OfficeAddinInstaller.vsto’ link no longer does anything on Chrome/Chromium browsers.

 

Thanks,

James  

Hi @JamesM,

Have you tried Microsoft Edge browser? I heard a similar question recently and MS edge worked for them. 

Please also have a look at following article regarding enabling ClickOnce on MS Edge:

Hope this helps!


Have you tried just going to the Add-on page or starting on the Index page?

Hi Charith, 

I use MS Edge almost exclusively but still not able to start the add-ons from the browser. Is the question you are referring to on ‘community.ifs.com’? 

 

Thank James

The article is from a third party site. It has instructions to enable Click Once support for MS Edge browser. Following are the steps.

  • In the browser search bar, type in 'Edge://flags' and press enter. 
  • Type in ‘Clickonce’ in the search bar and then under ClickOnce Support, select ‘enable’ from the dropdown. 
  • Restart the browser. 

Hope this helps!

Hi Charith, 
Thanks for your comments. 
Turns out it the ‘IFS EE Link Handler’ causing some sort of clash with the .vsto links. By disabling the ‘IFS EE Link Handler’ I am able to download and install the add-ins
