I'm strugling with clicktwice......
2 exe are created, the first (downloads and install the msi) is working fine.
But the setup.exe (which installs dependencies) is not ! I have the message :
Security Error: The downloader is not trusted. Task name : ParseXML

Any help ? What do you need from me ?

Hi Thomas,

What version of Add-in Express .NET do you use?

Hi Thomas,

To install ClickTwice application you need to run the downloader, not setup.exe. If you have any prerequisites, the downloader will download setup.exe and install prerequisites automatically. If you have two .exe in the same folder (the downloader and setup.exe), it means that your project was created using the old version of Add-in Express. It is done for compatibility reason.
The latest version of ClickTwice creates the downloader + setup.exe located in the 'prerequisites' subfolder.

Also, make sure that you sign the ClickTwice application using the valid digital certificate, not a test certificate.

Hello, based on this page: https://www.add-in-express.com/docs/net-office-deployment-clicktwice.php

I understand the boostraper is "setup.exe"
the downloader is "name-of-my-app.exe"

I need to give the url of the bootstraper to my clients ? I'm a bit confused, because I understand the help page differently that what you say in your post.

Thanks for your lights,

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

That's my personal fault; I haven't modified the description we provide in the Introduction to ClickTwice section. We will modify it ASAP. In section Version-specific folders, we provide this algorithm:


The folder contains:

- the .MSI installer you specified.
- an unmanaged executable that Add-in Express generates. The executable is called downloader. If no prerequisites are specified, it downloads the .MSI file from {Installation URL}/{Language code}/{Version} and runs it. If prerequisites are specified, it launches setup.exe located in the prerequisites folder, waits for the prerequisites to get installed; and then downloads and runs the .MSI. The file name of the downloader is set to the name of your project, such as myaddin1.exe.
- the prerequisites folder (only if prerequisites are specified).
